Good morning,I'm completing a project with MAX10M04 FPGA and Quartus Prime 20.1 Lite Edition software.The project is in the final phase, everything works fine but I have a very strange problem: I used the schematic for the whole FPGA project and using the same component I built "1Encoder" four times it gives me problems just by connecting the hardware of the 4th component.Not connecting this all the whole project works perfectly.Are there any limitations using the "Lite Edition"?I attach the FPGA project and the wiring diagram of my board.Thanks.

Hi,I tried compiling your project on my machine and it seems to work fine. Can you let me know what OS are you using and can you attach a picture of the error message you receive?Thanks,NurinaP/S: Feel free to give Kudos to comments you find to be helpful.

Hello Nurina, I'm using Windows 10 OS. I have not error messages in compiling process, I have only some warning messages. The problem is on board functionality: I have 4 quadrature encoder counter, in the schematic named "4Encoder", inside it I have 4 instance of single counter named "1Encoder" with lpm_counter5 functionality. The problem is very strange: 1st, 2nd, 3th encoder running and counts properly, the 4th counter works with anomaly mode and influence the others (seems that reset the other counters). Thanks, Gigi

Hi Gigi,So just to clarify, the anomaly mode is that when you add the 4th counter it doesn't function correctly while causing the other counters to function wrongly? Is there anything more to it?Regards,Nurina

Hi Nurina, The FPGA project is with all 4 counters, I have the problem with the first 3 counters only when I connect the 4th counter hardware signals: EXT_ENC4_A on pin 85 EXT_ENC4_B on pin 86 EXT_ENC4_Z on pin 87 EXT_ENC4_ALARM on pin 88 Regards, Gigi

Hi Gigi,Have you simulated your design and confirmed the functionality? You should verify that your logic on RTL viewer are connecting as intended.Regards,Nurina

Hi Gigi,

Sorry for coming back to you so late.

You can perform this on the Lite version. You first need to specify your EDA tool.

Go to Assignments->Settings->EDA Tool Settings then set to ModelSim or ModelSim-Altera

Then under Tools->Options->General->EDA Tool Options set the path of the tool you chose to "C:/intelFPGA_lite/20.1/modelsim_ase/win32aloem"

You can also try SignalTap, this would allow you to spot check a couple I/O signals and observe the signals.

Regards,

Nurina

Hi Gigi,

I suggest you open a new case if you come across a problem in the future so that it will be easier for the community to navigate in case they come across the same problem as you are now dealing with a different tool on Quartus.
