Super ContributorNo, Component Instantiation tab is in Pro, not Standard, so that suggestion won't help you.
I have never seen it take hours to just open a .qsys file. The compilation times you mention do not seem out of the ordinary to me for a large design, but just opening the file should at most only take a minute or two (it's basically just an XML script). Any useful messages appear when opening the file that might shed light on what it's getting stuck on? Are all of your files on a local drive or are you accessing any files, like IP files or custom component designs, over a network?
Any possibility of trying with a different version of Quartus? 22.1 is the latest version of Standard.
Occasional ContributorIs the compilation time also okay when most of it is spent in A&S? The Fitter took the longest in the projects I have worked on before.
I worked on a project using the same FPGA (Arria 10 GX 270kLE) that consumed a higher percentage of the logic and memory and took about 1 hour to build and not nearly as long to open the top level qsys file, but I don't remeber the relation between time spent in A&S and Fitter anymore.
These are all the messages that appear when opening said qsys file:
I hope it is possible to read them. I also attached them as a file.
There doesn't seem to happen anything out of the ordinary but it took 2.5h with the i9 12900K and 64 GB RAM.
All of the files are on the local SSD, independent of the machines used so far.
I have installed and tested the Standard 22.1 edition mentioned, but it takes just as long to open the top level qsys file. I didn't build the FPGA design though because I lost hope in the solution.
I have also tried to "hardcode" generic components that I used to parameterize for different configurations but it doesn't seem to help. I am opening the top level file with platform designer for 1 hour now.
Are there any other things I can try to accelerate Platform Designer/A&S?
