Internal Error: Sub-system: QSYN, File: /quartus/synth/qsyn/qsyn_cmd.cpp, Line: 1803

I am using opencl 16.1 and quartus 16.1 prime lite for the DE1 soc board.

I try to compile the boardtest example in the de1soc examples. and got the following internal error. This may be an example independent issue.

Any suggestion ?

Thanks

    Are you using 16.1 or 16.1.1? 16.1 has a known issue with OpenCL compilation and all OpenCL compilations fail. You must install the 16.1.1 update for both Quartus and AOCL if you haven't.

      Hello all,

      I am also facing the similar error when I tried to run a basic AND gate program in Quartus 17.1, the tool keep crashing.

    Compilation seems to be crashing with an internal error; however, the following line in your log seems strange to me: 

    Info (125068): Revision "top" was previously opened in Quartus II software version 14.1. Created Quartus Prime Default Settings File

    What is your target board? Is your BSP compatible with the version of Quartus you are using?

    Also, have you tried updating to 17.1.2 (you have to update Quartus and AOC separately)?

    Finally, if you have a license for Quartus, it is proffered to use Quartus Prime Standard or Pro, depending on your target board.

    I am trying with c5soc as the target board, since the BSP was installed by default ( I tried on de0_nano_soc after I got the BSP from terasic but the same problem occured).

    Since the BSP was already included in the SDK I assumed it's compatible with Quartus & SDK version 17.1.

    For the license, I don't have one, since as I understood that the Quartus Lite is free and the SDK didn't ask for a license ( I am targeting Cyclone V board (DE0-Nano SoC)).

    However, Now I am updating Quartus and SDK, I will test again and post the log.

    Hello HRZ,

    I updated both AOC and Quartus to 17.1.1 (latest version on website),

    I performed the following :

    1- trying to compile for board c5soc resulted with the log in the "quartus_sh_compile_c5soc" file in the attachments (same errors).

    2- trying to compile for board de0_nano_soc (using the BSP in the following link: http://mail.terasic.com.tw/~keith/20170703/de0_nano_soc_opencl_bsp.zip (http://mail.terasic.com.tw/~keith/20170703/de0_nano_soc_opencl_bsp.zip)) resulted with different error message (less errors and more progress) as shown in the "quartus_sh_compile_de0_nano" log.

    By comparing, the de0_nano progressed more but the error (Error in adjust_plls.tcl!) crashed the whole thing as I understand.

    Appreciate your kind help and advice and many thanks for your help.

    If you are using the reference BSPs, then they are compatible with the version of Quartus they are shipped with. I hope updating Quartus solves your problem.

    P.S. How much memory do you have on the machine you use for compilation?

    P.S : Regarding the memory used for compilation, my PC has 4 GB RAM and I'm using it all, it's enough isn't it ?

    --- Quote End ---

    Actually, this is very likely the source of your problem. Considering the fact that the compilation process is crashing in a different part every time, you are very likely running out of memory. Intel's recommendation for memory size to place and route designs for Cyclone V is 6-8 GB (and probably more if you are using OpenCL):

    http://dl.altera.com/requirements/17.1/

    You can easily verify whether you are running out of memory or not by checking your memory and swap usage during placement and routing. I recommend using a machine with at least 8 GB of memory (or preferably, 16).
