    Hi Noah,


    We have root caused the issue. A fix for this issue will be scheduled on the upcoming version.


    As a workaround for this, please remove the following line from the QSF file and rerun the full flow:

    set_instance_assignment -name PARTITION component_and_func -to "and_func:and_func_inst"


    Thanks.

Hello,


May I know if you are willing to share the design file with me so that I can try to replicate this Internal Error?


Thank you for your understanding.

    These are the design files, including the .vcd generated during the simulation, and a .vcd converted from a .wlf file.

    This project is generated from HLS Compiler, which could be relevant. The issue appeared in the context of a larger project but I tested this logical "and" functionality to have as simple a test as possible.

    The Quartus project is inside \luinv.prj\quartus

    When generating the same project for a Cyclone V board in Quartus Lite, Power Analysis does work, which is why I think the problem might not be related to HLS Compiler.

    Let me know if you have any updates or need more information.

    Regards,

    Noah
