Honored Contributorhave error in DSP builder when I use signal compiler
when i try to compile singen demo by signal compiler.The error message appears:
Error: Failed to create Quartus II project singen in directory c:\altera\72\quartus\dsp_builder\DesignExamples\Tutorials\GettingStartedSinMdl\singen_dspbuilder. Error: Error during compilation: Failed to update Quartus II project settings Pls help me to understand and solve this problem.Thanks you so much ! I am using Matlab R2006b, Quartus 7.2 and DSP builder 7.2 .8 Replies
Altera_ForumHey there, Have you checked out the trouble shooter section of the DSP Builder User guide? I believe the section titled "Synthesis Flow Does Not Run Properly" (page 13-3 of the version 7.2 user guide) should help.

Thanks for caring. Do you mean i should check environment variable? :) .I am sure that all required environment variables are already set correctly.

Right check environment variable and matlab path...
Also possibly delete the IP cache folder (the .altera.quartus folder under C:\Document and Settings\<your user name>\)... sometimes it gets corrupted and causes problems... - Altera_Forum
Hey, wronghorizon, you have just helped me solve an SoPC builder problem I have been chasing for a week.
The above 'fix' cleared up an issue I was having in my SoPC system not seeing all the DDR2 newer memory controllers in the SoPC componenet list. Thanks. Avatar. - Altera_Forum
Glad that helped Avatar. I experienced the same problem when I moved from 7.2SP1 to 8.0. Someone ought to document that.

Make sure that you don't have any residual DSP Builder blocks residing in the _import directory (or any of the other directories w/in the project). I had an issue like this in which there were multiple versions of certain FIR filters (but I was only instantiating one of them in the actual MDL file). When the <module_name>_add.tcl file is run in Quartus, it basically looks for any .tcl files in any of the directories and tries to run them. In this case, I traced through the errors in the processing window, and it was trying to load blocks that weren't necessarily valid, just because there were files leftover.
Hope this helps. Jeff - Altera_Forum
Hi wronghorizon and jjcannon,
I have tried both of your suggestions. I still have the error: "Error: Failed to create Quartus II project FIRFilter in directory D:\altera\11.0\quartus\dsp_builder\Filter and Data Synchronization\FIRFilter_dspbuilder. Error: Error during compilation: Failed to update Quartus II project settings" when I try to compile with Signal Compiler. Do you have any other suggestions? To nguyenthehoang, Did you ever find a solution to this problem? Thank you all, rushale - Altera_Forum
Hi,
In my case the problem was resolved by removing the spaces from my project folder name. This was confusing the Signal Compiler. Best Regards, rushale
