Error (293007): Current module quartus_map ended unexpectedly.

Hello,

I am using Quartus 15.1 standard Edition under Linux (Centos 7) to compile my design for the DE2-115 board which has a cyclone IV-E. While increasing the size of my design, i get the following error:

'error (293007): current module quartus_map ended unexpectedly. verify that you have sufficient memory available to compile your design. you can view disk space and physical ram requirements on the system and software requirements page of the altera website (http://dl.altera.com/requirements/).'

I checked the disk space and the physical memory and there are sufficient space to run the tool: disk space = 80 GB, and RAM = 7.9 GB.

Where can i found more information about the reason of this error? Do you have any suggestion on how to resolve this problem?

Thank you in advance,

Ph. D. Mohamad Najem

    I have just installed Quartus 15.1 and getting the same thing. I have an I7 with 16GB on win7. I ran the same design in Q13.1 and this never happened. I thought the problem was down to the patch I installed 'update 1' because when I removed it, things started working. However, after compiling a few times, it has started happening again. My colleague's computer does the same thing.

    I was trying to compile a half full Arria V GX (A1)

    This is now happening on 15.1 without update 1. We have found that it is not related to the design you are trying to compile but Quartus instead. I compiled a 2 register design and it still failed with the message Quartus_asm failed unexpectedly. The only way round it is to uninstall Q15.1 and reinstall. It seems to work for a few days then get corrupted and won't compile again.

    Thank you all for your response.

    I always don't understand the reason of this crash! In some cases, the tool synthesis my design and sometimes won't!

    For example, it complete synthesis for only one optimization option "Performance(Aggressive - increases runtime and area".

    Unfortunately, i couldn't uninstall and reinstall it every day! I will try the old version 14.1. Hope, it works.

    Regards
