15 years ago --- Quote Start --- Ah-ha, thanks! I was not doing that. So - another question - try to run the timing analysis, and get this: Error: Can't run Timing Analyzer (quartus_tan) -- Fitter (quartus_fit) failed or was not run What/where is the "fitter?" ??? Thanks again! --- Quote End --- Hi, sorry my fault. In order to run the timing analyzer you have to perform a complete run, which includes: 1. Analysis & Elaboration Your HDL is analyzed , the Hierachy is extratcted etc..... 2. Synthesis Your design is converted in Logic, Register .... 3. Mapping Your design is mapped to FPGA resource like LUT's, DSP Blocks .... 4. Fitter Your design is placed and routed 5. Timing Analysis After Place&Route you can analysis the real timing of your design That all you need to put your design in the FPGA. Kind regards GPK
