Cyclone IV PLL IP megawizard crash
- 2 years ago
I can confirm that PLL Megawizard is crashing in Quartus 23.1 when advancing to the Output Clock tab. I tried with Cyclone IV E and Cyclone 10 LP, just using default settings. Also a PLL component defined in Quartus 19.1 reopened in 23.1 crashed when selecting output clocks.
The problem has been already reported, see e.g.

The first link however contains already a solution by copying 22.1 Megawizard files to 23.1 installation. I don't see known issues related to PLL Megawizard reported for Quartus-23.1std.0.991-windows in FPGA knowledgebase, shouldn't the problem appear there 2 month after first bug reports? At least the problem should be known internally to avoid misleading suggestions as above.
Definitely waiting for an official patch.
