    Looks like you are using a very old version of the DDR2 compiler. 3.4.1

    You are using Quartus 7.1, so you should be using DDR2 megacore version 7.1 too.

    In fact Quartus 7.2 was released a few days ago.

    try this and see how you get on.

    Hello, were you able to solve this problem? I'm getting the same error message and I am using the lastest Quartus version and service pack. I'm using the Free IP Base Suite that has the DDR2 Megacore function. Please let me know if you solved the problem because I've been working on this problem for some time.

    Thanks,

    joe

    I received an error similar to this and it was a result of the first situation. For me, I was instantiating a tester around the interface, so I'd insert data and read back data. The problem with that is that Quartus will end up "optimizing" away some of your connections, not knowing that they are actually important. The way I got rid of the errors was to place output pins on each of the connections, thereby telling Quartus that the connections were important and not to "optimize" them away.

    Not sure if this will fix your problem, but it worked on mine. Only took me a week to figure out. :(
