I have this error in my quartus_sh_compile.log. But this only happens to my designs with large size (70% utilization). It will say 'failed to generate hardware' after around 10 hour's compilation. And by the way, the "<installation directory>/quartus/bin" directory was not in my PATH variable when that happend, but the hardware could be generated for this kernel with small size. I have the quartus_sh_compile.log and <kernel_name>.log attached.

    I see. So if the fitter crushes due to RAM limit, the log file would not say any thing about that?

    Hi

    Can you confirm if your BSP version(if not Altera's board) is match with the SDK version? This error usually link to version miss match.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply!

    I am using altera arria10soc, and below is the board_env_xml,

    <board_env version="16.1" name="altera_a10socdk"><hardware dir="hardware" default="a10soc"/><platform name="arm32"><linkflags>-L%b/arm32/lib</linkflags><linklibs>-lalterahalmmd -lalterammdpcie</linklibs><utilbindir>%b/arm32/bin</utilbindir></platform><platform name="linux64"><linkflags>-L%b/arm32/lib -L%a/host/arm32/lib</linkflags><linklibs>-lalterahalmmd -lalterammdpcie</linklibs><utilbindir>%b/arm32/bin</utilbindir></platform><platform name="windows64"><linkflags>-L%b\arm32\lib</linkflags><linklibs>-lalterahalmmd -lalterammdpcie</linklibs><utilbindir>%b\arm32\bin</utilbindir></platform></board_env>

    And below is my aoc version

    Version 16.1.0 Build 196

    They are all 16.1. (It just cannot finish for a larger size of the design so I think the version should not be the problem?)

    Regards,

    It usually does, but I think there might be cases where it doesn't. If you experience this crash only for large designs, it is certainly not due to Quartus/AOC/BSP version mismatch. As dark_visage suggested, you can try increasing your swap and see what happens. Furthermore, make sure you have the maximum possible amount of free memory before running the compilation. Finally, You can try updating your Quartus and AOC to v16.1.2.

    Thanks for your following up! Yesterday I cleared the RAM and compiled again. The compilation did not crash, but it's still processing until now (it has taken 24+ hours).
