    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.

Thank you for the information, however unfortunate.

Another question then: Where can I log a request for improvements to Quartus Prime Standard Edition?
