Hi,
Can you try the PCIe 1x16 design rather than 2x8?
Hello,
I initially tried to build a 1x16 design, but ran into the SystemVerilog errors which are shown in the text file attached to this response. This issue was also discussed in a similar forum post (link). Building a 2x8 configuration design avoided these errors, which is why I've been using that style so far.
Let me know what you think, or if there is a specific compilation script you would like me to run that may help solve these errors.
Thank you!

Hi,
Based on the link provided, the changes is on the RAM 2x8GB interface. The PCIe should be still possible to be configured with 1x16 interface.

Hello,
Apologies for the confusion. I've been trying to build the slim 1x16 PCIe using the following command:
./ofs-common/scripts/common/syn/build_top.sh -p --ofss tools/ofss_config/pcie/pcie_host_1pf_1vf.ofss iseries-dk:null_he_lb,null_he_hssi,null_he_mem,null_he_mem_tg,no_hssi work_iseries-dk_minimal_fim
But I've been running into a couple crashes and compilation issues after some time passes, notably an error stating: "Error: UNAVAILABLE: Network closed for unknown reason." This error has appeared several times at the same point in compilation, despite constant connection to my network via Ethernet cable. As such, I don't think it's a connectivity issue. Another user ran into this issue when compiling for an F-Series board (link), and their issue was resolved by upgrading system RAM to 96GB, so I am looking into possibly doing that as well.
My current system uses an i7-12700K and 64GB of DDR4 RAM. If you have any other insight or advice, please let me know as I continue to troubleshoot this new issue for the 1x16 PCIe configuration! The complete compilation log is attached for reference. I'll keep you posted if anything advances on my end.
Thank you!

Hi,
Can you try to implement the workaround in Why do I unexpectedly observe intermittent DDM Errors? | Altera Community - 349714?

Hello,
I had already implemented that patch before encountering these network errors, so that fix does not seem to apply to this case, thank you for the recommendation regardless! Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I look towards potentially upgrading my system's RAM.
Best,
James
