Hi Vikas,
Thank you outlining all the steps to upgrade the IP.
What is confusing to me is that why upgrade is needed if we are both using Quartus Prime 18.0 version As suggested by you, the Quartus tool gives the following reason for migration:
Device Family targeted by IP variant incompatible with project Device Family. IP variant will be migrated to the project device family when performing automatic upgrade.
From p1b.ip
<spirit:parameter>
<spirit:name>device_family</spirit:name>
<spirit:displayName>device_family</spirit:displayName>
<spirit:value spirit:format="string" spirit:id="device_family">Arria 10</spirit:value>
</spirit:parameter>
I still tried to upgrade the IP but got the following errors for all three IPs but shown only for p1b.ip
Info (11902): Backing up file "p1b.ip" to "p1b.BAK.ip"
Info (11837): Started upgrading IP component QsysPrimePro with file "p1b.ip"
Error: 2018.10.22.10:07:51 Error: Error opening system.
Info (11904): Restoring file "p1b.BAK.ip" to "p1b.ip"
Error (14923): Error upgrading Platform Designer file "p1b.ip"
I checked permissions and they look okay (RW) to me.
