This problem is attributed to a limitation in the provided simulation testbench within this software release. It is important to note that this behavior is confined to the simulation environment and does not impact the functionality or performance of the design on hardware. Resolution This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Quartus Prime Pro Edition Software.Why does Board Support Package Editor fail to generate embedded peripheral IP drivers when generating BSP FreeRTOS project for Nios® V processor?
Description Due to a problem in the Quartus ® Prime Standard Edition Software version 24.1 and 25.1, the BSP Editor fails to generate embedded peripheral IP drivers, when it is generating BSP FreeRTOS project for Nios ® V processor. This is because the BSP Editor is not enabled to generate those drivers in FreeRTOS. Refer to Embedded Peripherals IP User Guide - Driver Support for the list of embedded peripherals with driver support. Resolution Patches are available to fix this problem for the Quartus ® Prime Standard Edition Software version 24.1 and 25.1 Linux and Windows versions. Download and install patch below. Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software v24.1 Patch 0.01 Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software v25.1 Patch 0.01 This problem is currently scheduled to be resolved in a future release of the Quartus ® Prime Standard Edition Software.Why does the quartus_pfg tool hang when generating an encrypted bitstream file?
Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 25.3.1 and earlier, the quartus_pfg tool may hang indefinitely while generating an encrypted bitstream file. This is an intermittent problem. Once it occurs for a specific FPGA bitstream, it will always occur for that bitstream. Resolution A patch is available to fix this problem for the Quartus ® Prime Pro Edition Software version 25.3.1. Download and install patch 1.18 This problem is fixed beginning with version 26.1 of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software.Can I automatically legalize memory IPs with conflicting locations in Power and Thermal Analyzer?
Description When you add multiple memory interface IPs to a PTA design, they do not get automatically allocated into multiple IO banks. This can cause errors from having too many interfaces in a single IO bank. Resolution You may need to manually change location information for multiple interfaces to resolve the errors. Alternately, you can use a script to automate the process of allocating memory interfaces into multiple IO banks. To use the script, download it from this KDB and save it on your computer. Then run the following command in the Tcl console of PTA: source <path to file>/reallocate_emif_pins.tcl Additional Information The script uses a simple method to allocate memory interfaces into multiple IO banks. It does not perform a full legalization such as is performed by the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software. Therefore, in certain limited cases, it may not be possible for the Quartus Prime Pro compiler to implement some memory interfaces in the locations generated by the script. Additionally, the script cannot resolve errors caused by having more memory interface IPs than are supported by the device. If you have too many memory interface IPs in your PTA design, you must remove some./quartus/pgm/bitasm/bitasm_bitstream_encryption.cpp, Line: 1439 Expected the extra routing value(8) to be 0 or 4.
Description Due to a problem in the Quartus ® Prime Pro Edition Software version 25.3, this error message might be displayed when generating an encrypted FPGA bitstream file using the quartus_pgm tool. This problem only affects some FPGA bitstream files. Resolution This problem is fixed beginning with version 26.1 of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software.Why does Arria® 10 HPS IP generation fail with missing mgc_common_axi.sv in Quartus® Prime Pro 24.1/24.2?
Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software versions 24.1 and 24.2, Arria® 10 HPS IP generation may fail with an error similar to: Error: add_fileset_file: no such file .../ip/altera/mentor_vip_ae/axi3/bfm/mgc_common_axi.sv This occurs because AXI3 Mentor Graphics BFM collateral was removed starting in Quartus Prime Pro 24.1, while the Arria 10 HPS generation flow still referenced the removed AXI3 BFM file. Associated Quartus Suite bug: QS-569165. Resolution To resolve this issue, upgrade to Quartus Prime Pro Edition Software version 24.3, regenerate the Platform Designer system/IP output files, and rerun compilation.Why does "Display in New Tab" fail in the RTL Analyzer?
Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 26.1 and earlier, you might see that "Display in New Tab" does not work for components in a design partition. Resolution To work around this problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 25.3.1, download and install patch 1.27. This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software.Why am I observing .sof generation failure when selecting VSR_MODE_HIGH_LOSS in F-Tile JESD204B IP Design Examples?
Description The VSR_MODE_HIGH_LOSS option is available in the dropdown menu of the IP GUI for F-Tile JESD204B IP Design Examples. However, starting from Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Design Software version 25.3, this option is deprecated and no longer supported. With the updated F-Tile firmware starting in Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Design Software version 25.3, VSR_MODE_HIGH_LOSS and VSR_MODE_LOW_LOSS are treated equivalently. As a result, selecting VSR_MODE_HIGH_LOSS for hardware testing (e.g., on a development kit) allows the Design Example to compile successfully, but the SOF generation fails. Resolution Users should select VSR_MODE_LOW_LOSS. This issue is fixed in Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Design Software Version 25.3.1.
