New ContributorError 16045: Instance "auto_fab_0|alt_sld_fab_0" instantiated undefined entity
We found the issue. The issue is caused by the update of Digital Guardian software tool on our Linux server. The new version of the tool somehow blocks certain functionality of Quartus, so certain IP files cannot be retrieved. Reverting to a previous version of the Digital Guardian solved the problem.
Thank you all for the help.

Super ContributorHi Zhang,
I ran quartus synthesis flow from release 20.2 and 20.4 of your design file, and both completed successfully.
Not much I can do, specially if the problem is not reproducible.
In the warning, I can see there an empty module, search for all file containing that module as the name. Possibly, there is an empty file that is read-only such that Quartus cannot write the real content into it?
Another way is try to reboot your server and rerun through the Quartus flow.
