out of memory during elaboration.

Question

Hi,

I am new user of Quartus II on winXP/32bit, 30 days evaluation version.

The PC ha 2GB of internakl RAM, coreduo.

I am mapping on Stratix IV E EP4SE530H35C2NES target a

design with about 2 Milions asic/gate equivalent.

I get an "out of memory" when the design is under "Analysis and Elaborating"

step.

Please, could somebody tell me if the PC resources that I am using,

for this design is enough?

By documentation I understand to execute a partitioning,

I need to execute at least the "Elaboration step", is that right?

Thanks in advance.

out of memory in Analysis and Elaboration is interesting, but you'll need some more RAM for a full SIV530E compilation:

as a test try selecting another device and running Analysis and Elaboration. there shouldn't be anything family/device specific at that point.

please also monitor your memory usage during "Analysis and Synthesis", you might need to bump your RAM memory to 4 GB.
