Can't compile example Cyclone10 GX projects in Quartus Prime 23.1 Pro
- 3 years ago
Hi Oliver,
I don't see any report. However I am recalling a known issue, do you receive the same Internal Error: Internal Error: Sub-system: DCALC, File: /quartus/ddb/dcalc/dcalc_bcm_modules_cache.cpp, Line: 176Could not load pdb file - e:/quartus/quartusprimepro23.1_installed/devices/20nm/ddb_nightfury_timing_corner_db
Do you have only Cyclone 10 GX device installed? If yes, the current workaround in 23.1 is to install Arria 10 device, or you may use 22.4 instead.

Seriuosly,
I don't remember a QPP design example (Arria 10 GX, Cyclone 10 GX dev kit) that runs without manual editing and some trial and error. The duplicated instance name reported by Oliver is a typical example. It hasn't primary to do with necessary IP update but with changes in Platform designer operation after V18.
It's annoying that Intel didn't yet manage to provide updated example projects for the most popular development kits that simply run off-the-box. You could really enhance customer satisfaction considerably.
Just my two cents,
Frank
Hi Frank,
Thank you for the feedback.
I do agree that something needs to be done with these legacy example designs. But since there are workarounds for these example designs, this is not prioritised by Intel PSG. Instead, Intel PSG is focusing more on hyperflex devices (Stratix 10/Agilex) and there are plans to migrate legacy example designs to hyperflex devices.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Nurina
