--- Quote Start --- ... cancelling and retrying the compilation. --- Quote End --- That is what I did, but now, after 24 hours, it got stuck again on the same line in the quartus_sh_compile.log... On another machine I started another compilation, but unrolling a certain loop N times instead of fully. That compiled and synthesized within 4 hours... So apparently it is a resource issue? Which is weird, because the Optimization Report shows the following resource utilization: +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ ; Estimated Resource Usage Summary ; +----------------------------------------+---------------------------+ ; Resource + Usage ; +----------------------------------------+---------------------------+ ; Logic utilization ; 55% ; ; ALUTs ; 24% ; ; Dedicated logic registers ; 32% ; ; Memory blocks ; 82% ; ; DSP blocks ; 25% ; +----------------------------------------+---------------------------; I read somewhere that the estimated resource usage could be off significantly, so maybe in reality it is allocating more than available. But I would expect an error message in that case :)
