    Hi @khyam

    I found a case with similar error although the user seems to resolve the issue on their own.

    https://community.intel.com/t5/Application-Acceleration-With/How-to-correct-the-signal-tap-relative-to-below-error-error-auto/td-p/694631?profile.language=en

    May I know what kind of design that are you using to run the compilation? Have you try to run an example design that is available in our Intel website?

    Best Regards,

    p/s: If any answer from the community or Intel support are helpful, please feel free to give Kudos.

      I used sample example nlb_mode_0_stp, its has signal tap file(.stp). I used mmlink utility of OPAE2.0 for debugging the Arria 10 GX and D5005 PAC card with system console and quartus signal tap tool. The AFU with .stp file compiled successfully and I can see the signal tap instance but receive the following error when trying to acquire data.

      "Error (261005): can't find the instance. Download a design with SRAM Object File Containing this instance."

      When I used my own design, that is integrated with Xeon host processor in OPAE Platform. without Signal tap (.stp) file, it compiled successfully, but when i try to add .stp file instance in my design, I am getting below error.

      Yup looked the post you provide, but he didn't explained, how he resolve the issue.

    Solution:

    Add below command to the afu.qsf file to set stp file

    set_global_assignment -name VERILOG_MACRO "INCLUDE_REMOTE_STP"

    then run the design using $run.sh command

    or

    Add this line to filelist.txt file.

    +define+INCLUDE_REMOTE_STP

    Then build the design using following command

    afu_synth_setup --source filelist.txt build/stp

    So, It will add signal tap host instance in the design.
