Errors 10839 & 10149 in QII Subscription Edition

I had designed a Cyclone FPGA back in 2008 using the web edition QII and everything was fine. I recently purchased the subscription edition and all hell broke loose when I tried to open the former design to add some new features.

I get hundreds of errors (10839 & 10149). In a small company you get to wear many hats which has kind of turned my FPGA design skills a bit rusty... Here are some points to be noted:

(a) Verilog code used

(b) "Assignments">"Settings">"Libraries" = c:\altera\11.1\quartus\libraries (global & project)

(c) "Assignments">"Settings">"Analysis & Synthesis Settings">"Verilog HDL Input" = Verilog-2001 (worked in 2008...) I have left the other two fields empty ("Library Mapping File" and "Verilog HDL macro"). Should I put anything here?

(d) I am not using any 3rd party tools.

Help would be appreciated.

    I can't comment on the specific errors, but here's what I would do:

    1) Start by creating a new project, select the correct FPGA, and then add the Verilog files. Set the top-level file (files tab, select the file, right-click and set as top-level entity). See if things compile.

    Do not download that design to the board.

    2) Setup the pin constraints.

    Use the .qsf file from the original project, or generate a Tcl file for the project that does not compile correctly, then copy the pin constraints from within that file.

    Build the design again. Check the pin assignments against a schematic.

    3) Setup TimeQuest timing constraints.

    Setup the clock(s) and the I/O constraints.

    Build the design again.

    4) Review the warnings in the Quartus synthesis window.

    Cheers,

    Hi Dave,

    Just to let you know that things are working normally now. It seems I opened my design with the 64 bit Quartus edition. No major issues with the 32 bit Quartus.
