external memory interface toolkit failure

FWIW, the external memory interface toolkit appears to have an uncaught exception as follows (on Ubuntu 12.04.1 Linux). There are also some Linux processes left behind (see ps output below) which have to be killed before any quartus tool that uses the system console, such as the programmer or the EMIT, can be reused. This problem can become somewhat vexing because it takes the EMIT some time to start, and then one has to start over again whenever experiencing this issue again.

    I see those kinds of EMIF crashes quite a lot on my Windows 7 system. Each time I open service request and at the end get promise that it'd be fixed in the next quartus rev.

    The last one was yesterday. Attached is a screenshot.

    I suspect this specific one is something to do with checking window boundary conditions.

    Just got the answer from Altera that this crash will be fixed in 12.1SP1 scheduled for release on 2/11/2013 (next Monday).

    Thanks,

    Hi Jeffrey, sorry to be replying off topic here but Altera forums won't let me PM since I haven't posted enough. I saw your post about the critical timing errors with the niosII ethernet standard design, and I've been getting the same errors even though I'm using 11.1 sp2. I was wondering what else you did to get rid of the timing errors.

    Well i'm sorry to disappoint you but those crashes still appear on 12.1SP1, I switched last week to that version.
