Facing "Error: Failed to synthesize partition" followed by Partial Reconfiguration errors while generating GBS file

Question

Hi,I'm trying to generate a GBS file for my custom AFU using "$OPAE_PLATFORM_ROOT/bin/run.sh" once build_synth folder is created by "afu_synth_setup --source hw/rtl/filelist.txt build_synth".After some time of the run, I'm ending up with Partition and Partial Reconfiguration errors.I'm attaching a document consisting of a series of messages before the failure of GBS generation occurs.Few error messages from the document are as follows,Error: Failed to synthesize partitionError (23031): Evaluation of Tcl script ./a10_partial_reconfig/flow.tcl unsuccessfulTechnical Details:Software: Quartus Prime Pro 17.1.1FPGA : Intel Arria X (10AX115N2F40E2LG)Target Card: PAC with Intel Arria X GX FPGAAcceleration Stack : Version 1.2Operting System:NAME="CentOS Linux"VERSION="7 (Core)"Any suggestions on this will be helpful.Thank you

Hi,I have tried to run the example in the above link, but I ended up with an error "Error enumerating FPGAs: no driver available" when I ran the following command from the document,sudo fpgaconf $OPAE_PLATFORM_ROOT/hw/samples/nlb_mode_0/bin/\ nlb_mode_0.gbsI searched for the error message and came across the following link(also please find the attachment for the screenshot),"https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/iyu1522005567196.html"Do I need to install any drivers or require hardware for generating GBS?

Do I need to install any drivers or require hardware for generating GBS?

>> No need.

Please ignore my previous message.

Could you run the Minimal Flow Example from the link below, to generate the .gbs file?

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug-afu-dev-v1-1.pdf#page=17

If can't generate, you might need to check the environment setup.

Otherwise, could be design related issue.

Hi,

It seems that the file name output_files/afu_fit/green_region.pmsf does not exist or can't be read. Make sure the file path and file name are correct, that the file is readable (check permissions), and enter the file name again.
