Compile - Error (10481): VHDL Use Clause error at auk_ddr_controller.vhd(35):

Hey, sorry, I just want to bring this over to the IP Discussion forum. Problem is here:

http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4665 (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4665)

I'm trying to compile the PCIe to DDR2 reference design and Quartus gives the following error: 

Info: Found 2 design units, including 1 entities, in source file auk_ddr_controller.vhd
	Info: Found design unit 1: auk_ddr_controller-rtl
	Info: Found entity 1: auk_ddr_controller
Error (10481): VHDL Use Clause error at auk_ddr_controller.vhd(35): design library "auk_ddr_lib" does not contain primary unit "auk_ddr_functions"
Error (10800): VHDL error at auk_ddr_controller.vhd(35): selected name in use clause is not an expanded name

Since the whole mess is generated by the DDR2 controller MegaFunction and presumably brought in all the settings when I converted from the 7.1 to the 8.0 SP1 Megacore IP, I'm not sure how to proceed.

Thanks for your help.

Leslie

    I am seeing the same problem. I just downloaded Quatrus II 9.0 and tried to build nios2eds\examples\verilog\niosII_cycloneII_2c35\low_cost. I got exactly the same error. I tried renaming the nios2eds\examples\verilog\niosII_cycloneII_2c35\low_cost\db directory and no change.

    I am running the Quatrus Web edition 9.0 on Vista.

    Any ideas?

    Try deleting the db directory and recompiling.

    Didn't work.

    Yes, I figured it out. See this post.

    The example project I was building was supposed to have been compiled by Altera under Quartus II 8.0. I'm sure it did. However, the designer probably still had 7.2 installed on his/her computer. Some of the megafunctions were from 7.2 and still referenced the old path. So they wouldn't compile on my computer. The error message was fairly cryptic.

    Hmmm, maybe I also had to add a library to the project... the 7.2 megafunctions were archived in a subdirectory but I didn't notice until I'd already taken the other approach.

    I can't guarantee that's your problem, too, but it's worth a shot. Try recompiling or recreating the megafunctions in your design.

    Cool,

    Same error I'm getting (not using Vista). I am trying to compile an example problem so it sound like I have to locate the line in the code that is referencing a none existent link and substitute in a correct link for Quartus 9.0...

    I'm having the same problem. However, I'm new to NIOS II, and have never used the MegaWizard or SOPC Builder. Can someone please instruct me on how I would "recompile or recreate" the megafunctions to work with 9.0 and my DE2_70 Development board?

    Thanks a ton in advance!

    I just tried to recompile C:\altera\90sp2\nios2eds\examples\vhdl\niosII_cycloneII_2c35\standard

    With Qaurtus(+Nios) 9.0sp2

    And I get same error although ddr_sdram_controller-library is in Project libraries (already in Assignments settings).

    I success compiling by :

    backup the altera example first !

    * removing db, incremental_db folders

    * regenerating SOPC (with Sopc Builder)

    I have warning messages.

    I don't sure it is working good
