AN483, tse_ref_design, error in analaysis&synthesis after sopc system generation

Hello together,

I downloaded the tse reference design (AN483). I use Quartus II 9.1.2.

When i open the project and run "Analysis & Synthesis" i get no errors and the green tick appears. But when i run the process after i opened SOPC Builder and clicked "Generate", some errors occur:

Error: Node instance "altera_tse_mac_pcs_pma_inst" instantiated with unknown parameter "ENABLE_EXTENDED_STAT_REG"

Error: Node instance "altera_tse_mac_pcs_pma_inst" instantiated with unknown parameter "SYNCHRONIZER_DEPTH"

Error: Node instance "altera_tse_mac_pcs_pma_inst" instantiated with unknown parameter "ENABLE_ALT_RECONFIG"

Error: Can't elaborate user hierarchy "tse_ref_design:tse_ref_design_inst|altera_ethernet:the_altera_ethernet|altera_tse_mac_pcs_pma:altera_tse_mac_pcs_pma_inst"

Error: Quartus II Analysis & Synthesis was unsuccessful. 5 errors, 3 warnings

What is going wrong?

    another question:

    how to run the simulation/testbench provided in tse_ref_design? I am new to Altera tools. I have Modelsim SE 6.4c.

    Florian,

    I just ran into a similar issue running Quartus 8.0. When I try to compile, I get the error:

    Error: Node instance "altera_tse_mac_pcs_pma_inst" instantiated with unknown parameter "TRANSCEIVER_OPTION"

    Were you able to resolve this issue?

    I've run into similar problems with PCIe core. I was able to solve this problem by deleting all files that are generated by SoPC builder.

    It is possible that some files are not re-generated when the SoPC builder see that they are present. There are changes between versions of core (and Quartus) that can lead to these errors.

    zizka,

    Thanks. I tried removing all SOPC files and regenerated. This was enough to get me over the issue.
