Can't compile example Cyclone10 GX projects in Quartus Prime 23.1 Pro

To get off the ground with my shiny, new (and expensive) Cyclone 10 GX development board I went to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design-example/714945/cyclone-10-gx-pcie-gen2-x4-dma.html and downloaded the .par file. Quartus 23.1 was happy to open it and wanted to run an IP upgrade, which also ran.

However, compiling falls over with the error:

Error(19021): The same file name "top_hw" is used for different IP files. The same name cannot be used for more than one IP file. Only directly include the .ip file, not the .qip or .qsys.
Error(22175): file: "C:/Users/olivers/Documents/sbsvn/Client/misc/GXexamples/Cyclone10GX_PCIeGen2x4_DMA_18_0_project/platform/top_hw.qsys"
Error(22175): file: "C:/Users/olivers/Documents/sbsvn/Client/misc/GXexamples/Cyclone10GX_PCIeGen2x4_DMA_18_0_project/platform/top_hw/top_hw.qip"

If I remove the QIP then compilation crashes the Quartus fitter.

Any suggestions?

  • 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.

    Regards,

    Nurina

    Go into Platform Designer, opening the .qsys file, and try generating the system manually there. Then try compiling again in Quartus.

      Aaargh, another miserable morning trying to log in! Anyway I tried manual QSYS generation and it made no difference, Quartus still crashed.

        See above, no difference. I do submit crash reports but there's no sign that Intel receive them.
