11802 can't fit design in device.

Hello im using quartus 13.1 and I installed "a" patch. But still I get the can't fit design in device error.

And this is the getting started build.

I tried updating to version 14 but in doing so I have more problems.

How do I get v13.1 to work on cyclone 5 board??

    If you cant fit the design in the device, its not the tool version thats the problem, it's your source code or device selection. Basically, your design uses more resources than is avaiable in the chip you've chosen.

    What is your source code?

    It's the getting started patch for A cyclone 5 DE1 SoC board. (5CSEMA 5F 31C6).

    Basically the patch consists of a multiplexer and a pll through a bit of counter code.. So it may be a rooky mistake in the settings tho. Hope it is.

    Found it!! It was in my filename.sdc file.

    Either it was case sensitive on a name, or space.

    changed:

    "clock_50"-period 20.000ns

    to:

    "CLOCK_50" -period 20.000ns

    And it compiled fine :D Finally!
