Cannot create component from template interface in Platform Designer

Hi!

i try to create a component into Platform designer which includes an interface in system Verilog.

I get the error "Error: Verilog HDL or VHDL XML Interface error at apescore.sv(15): port "i" has an unsupported type File: d:/.....sv Line: 15"

Synthesis works fine.

in order to reproduce the issue you can try the template by:

right click on empty .sv->insertTemplate->Contruct->DesignUnit->Interfaces->masterSlaveExample

This template has an issue with the generic interface, but once you fix that, it gives the same error when you try to create a component.

What is unsupported? Is there a workaround?

thanks

Ioannis

    Which Quartus version are you using? Standard or Pro?

    Hi,

    i have access to both standard and Pro versions.

    I see that in Pro it works.

    Does this mean in Standard i can only do components with simple ports?

    Is there a table describing all the features of Pro version that Standard does not provide?

    best regards,

    Ioannis

    Quartus Standard has limited support in SystemVerilog and you can check the Quartus Prime Standard Edition Help version > Quartus Prime Support for SystemVerilog, for the list of supported constructs.

    Do note that you need to install the Intel® Quartus® Prime Help to access it.

    KDB Link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/articles/000097917.html

    For Quartus Pro, you can check it online.
