    May I know which version of Quartus are you using, Standard or Pro?

    I'm afraid that if you are using Quartus Standard, there is limited support for the System Verilog language.

    Link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683283/18-1/verilog-and-systemverilog-synthesis-support.html

    The recommendations are as follows:

    1. Upgrade to Quartus Pro.
    2. Modify the design code by converting the multidimensional arrays into single-dimensional arrays.

    Unfortunately, the engineering team has no plans to enhance Quartus Standard.

    We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the limitations of the tool.

    Best Regards,

    Richard Tan

    Edited: Platform Designer does not support 2D arrays.

I am using Standard Edition.

However, it seems that Quartus Prime can handle a multidimensional port like this when just including this file outside of platform designer and elaborating it there. The problem presents itself when trying to use platform designers component editor. Are the requirements/capabilities between the two different?
