Honored ContributorWhen I click on an entity in the project Navigator, the wrong files are opened. The entire link between the entity and the relevant file seem to be completely screwed up. It's very frustrating. I've never encountered such a dumb problem until I just recently upgraded to 10.1. Anybody have a clue to what can be the problem? Is this a known problem with 10.1?
Thanks,
Honored Contributorcan you create a simple test case that displays the problem and file a service request?
Honored ContributorWhat do you mean a test case? I click on the entity and a file that does not contain that entity opens, or nothing happens at all. It all depends. If I exit Quartus II and start it again, it may work one time in the beginning, and then it stops to work again. Are you saying that you have never encountered this?
Honored ContributorLook into Project Explorer. It lists all paths of project files. Do not use anything absolute path unless it is from Quartus libraries.
Honored ContributorThanks waiyung. But can you be a bit more specific. What is the "Project explorer"? And what do you mean by absolute paths?
Honored Contributorin 10.1 Web Edition on Linux i can click on various entities in the hierarchy tab and the expected file opens
do you see failures in all of your designs? i thought the problem may be a specific combination of entity names and file structure which is why i suggested a test caseHonored ContributorIt happens to me now and then (Quartus II 9.1SP2). I never understood why though. I just do what any Windows Programmer then does: "Close and re-open all Windows" :o
Honored ContributorThis is unbearable. If I close and re-open it works only as long as i don't change the top level entity. Once I change it, it's all over the place again. I click on entities and who knows what files it will try to open. This is a major bug. I cannot even post a service request because my account is also screwed up. I can login but when I try to do something it will ask me again to login where my username and password will fail.
Honored ContributorQuartus II Project Navigator
1. Toolbar View 2. Toolbar Utility Windows 3. Toolbar Project Navigator It shows you all files include in current projectHonored ContributorI've had a very similar (maybe same?) problem with the project navigator-see my post Feb 24. It didn't happen until I moved to 10.1. I've had a SR in for two weeks hoping to get an answer, but there has been no response.
GregHonored ContributorThis software is just terrible. So I guess this is a major bug for 10.1. Has there been any feedback from Altera regarding this? I will not be wasting my time (again) with a service request.
BTW, how many versions will it take for them to realize that there is no need to compile ALL of the files in the entire project every time you hit compile, but only what is incorporated in the selected top level hierarchy?
