Linux Quartus Pro Edition quits unexpectecly because of jspice model library

Hello, I am getting an error when compiling a design for Intel Cyclone 10 GX using Quartus Pro Edition on Linux. It crashes on Fitter > Place stage at 99 %.

I tried looking for a jspice model library, but found nothing that looked useful. Any idea what the problem could be?

I've installed the software using individual files, I have the base Quartus installed + Intel Cyclone GX and Intel Arria 10 device support. I've also installed questa, high level synthesis and Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL in the hopes of resolving the error. I was thinking that there may be a jspice library in one of these.

Problem Details
Error:

    Internal error most of the time might be due to tool issue.

    I need to check the issue, thus is it possible for you to attach the design in qar?

      That's not a problem at all. The compilation crashes for every project in Quartus Prime Pro (without license, only Cyclone 10 GX support). So I am including a simple project that contains just an AND gate connected to two inputs and one output.

    Thanks. I am looking into this to replicate at my end.

    Hi Ruth,


    I am not able to see the issue using the design.

    Just for sanity check, can you reinstall Quartus?

    Just to make sure everything is setup properly.

      Hi,

      yes, I have an update from today. It took me a few days to download all of the components as I don't posses that fast internet connection and the files are large.

      I have downloaded installation from tab called Multiple Files instead of Individual Files like last time, just to change something if there was a problem. After installation, it is working correctly.

      So this has been solved. I am not sure whether the problem was in the individual files or just something went wrong in the installation process.

      PS: When I install only Quartus with Cyclone 10 GX support, when compiling, I get an error and I have to install Aria 10 support to resolve it. This happened to me on two separate computers, once Windows and once Linux.

    Glad that had been resolved. Let me know if there is any other concern at your end.
