Urgent help, Quartus error

Dear friends,

I started to work with Quartus II recentlly and my current project went very well until I discovered "Timing Optimization Advisor" :eek: . I followed its reccomendations about "Perform Multicorner Analysis" or something I can't remember exactlly because now dissapeared (I clicked some button that tells me to correct) and since then, Quartus stops at Timing anaysis with this error:

Error: Cannot find minimum timing model for device epm3064a

I reset to default all settings but still error.

What should I do pls?

Thanks in advance,

    Hi,

    which Quartus version did you use ? I check the version 9.0 SP2 and I found that fast timing is not supported for EPM3064a. How did you make the setting ?

    Kind regards

    I use 9.0 SP2 downloaded few days ago. Seems some setting was set (--fast) but I was not able to undone or I couldn't find in Settings menu. I had to make a new project and include my old schematic file, so now is working again.

    I have some little problems with Quartus way of organize things (menus, etc.). For example I noticed there are "Tools" also inserted in other menus than Tools, etc. I have to get use to.

    Best regards,

    Richard,
