PowerPlay Power Analyzer error

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile a Verilog file under Quartus 17 targeting a Max 10 FPGA (10M08SCE144C8G ) but I get this error all the time :

PowerPlay Power Analyzer (quartus_pow) cannot be run. It requires a successful run of the Assembler. The Assembler (quartus_asm) failed or was not run.

I set the FLOW_ENABLE_POWER_ANALYZER value to OFF but it did not change anything.

Any suggestion?Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    presume this is the problem
    "Can't generate programming files because you are currently using the Quartus Prime software in Evaluation Mode."

    MAX10 is supported by free Quartus prime lite. No need to use standard version in evaluation mode. I'm also not sure if Quartus 17.0 has final models for MAX10, I'd refer to a more recent version.
