Agilex F-Series FPGA Dev Kit example design compilation

It looks like the example design supplied with dev-kit "golden_top" has not actually been compiled. There is a typo in the verilog file that causes a syntax error during rtl analysis & synthesis phas...

    Able to compile after removing the transceiver pins from top verilog file as well as qsf file. Missed a pin last time, that is why it was not compiling.

Hi there

Can you share the pin assignment that has been done on those pins? Perhaps is it possible for you to share the simple design that generating this?

Thanks.

    Hi Eng Wei,

    Here I have attached a simple project based on the example design supplied in the dev-kit. I have modified the verilog file to include a simple counter to light up the LEDs in the sequence of numbers. The fitter does not complete due to the error above, so the pin file is not produced. However, the pin assignments are in qsf file. You can simply compile this project to reproduce the error. I used Quartus version 21.1 to compile this.

    Thanks

      Hi Anshu

      I don't see the above mentioned errors in the compilation.

      The very 1st error I am seeing is as below:

      Error(20732): I/O pin "fm6_pcie_perstn~CLUSTER" is a GPIO, but "BU58" has no GPIO resource.

      I believe it is due to the pin is not connected to any transceiver logic in the design. Removing assignment on this pin help the compilation to move forward, but hitting a lot of fitter issues due to most of the transceiver pins are not connected. Possible related to this:

      For the errors you mentioned in your initial thread, most likely the IO standard you assigned on those pins are not compatible with the associated banks.

      Thanks.
