Hi ,

Can you also share the quartus.ini also in both the working and non working cases to get a better picture for debugging.

Thanks and Regards

    Hi Anil,

    I am not sure exactly what you mean. There is a quartus2.ini located at c:/Users/Username that file is used for all versions if I understand correctly so there is not a separate ini file for the working version (18.0.1 Build 261 06/28/2018 SJ Pro Edition) vs. the not working version (21.2.0 Build 7206/14/2021 SC Pro Edition). I have both quartus version installed on one PC that is running windows 10.

    I attached this ini file. Please note that I manually added line 14 and 15:

    [General 21.2_pro]
    EMIF_RESTRICT_HPS_REFCLK_TO_AC_TILE = off

    Following the advise from this forum post: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Quartus-Prime-Software/Fitter-Error-with-Quartus-19-4-and-not-Quartus-19-1-for-HPS/m-p/595633/highlight/true but it did not help or change anything. It still works with the 18 version and still doesn't with the 21 version.

    Please let me know if you are looking for another file or if this is the one you were interested in.

    Thanks!
