Qsys update

Hi

I have a big qsys file (platform designer) Quartus Pro 19.4. I migrated successfully to 20.3.

I tried migrating from 20.3 to 20.4 I get this error:
Info: E:/Buildscript/LPUX274_20_4/src/qsys/ip/**/* matched 39 files in 0.08 seconds
Error: Factory com.altera.sopcfactories.QsysFactory reading E:\Buildscript\LPUX274_20_4\src\qsys\qsys.qsys exception com.altera.utilities.altNode.AltNodeException: (in-memory string): Invalid byte 3 of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence. (XML)

        Hi Ben,

        I am happy to hear that!

        For those who might come across this issue, please upgrade your Quartus Pro to version 21.1 once it is available to download. This issue is expected to be fixed in v21.1.

        With that, I will now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you.


        Best Regards,
        Shyan Yew (Richard)

        p/s: If any answer from the community or Intel support are helpful, please feel free to give Kudos.

    I haven't see this error before.
    Which OS that you are using? Have you try to clean and rebuild your project?

    Could you help to share your design so we could check on this?

        I tried to open the qsys.qsys file that you provided.

        Unfortunately I don't see the error message pop up, other than the warning messages pop up saying a lot of IP files missing.

        Have you try to uninstall/reinstall the Quartus and try to migrate the project again?

    Finally, I am able to duplicate the error in Window 10 platform. Previously I did it in Linux platform thus showing different result.

    I will check with our engineering team for further investigation.

      May I know how do you migrate the previous qsys.qsys file version 20.3 to 20.4?
      When I open the previous qsys file 20.3 in the Quartus 20.4 in Window 10, there is no error produced.

        1)open quartus project

        2)open qsys.qsys (no errors)

        3) Sync System infos

        4) save (same xml error occurred while saving)

        With GIT, I can see all my IPs are now 20.4 instead of 20.3 and qsys has many changes

        5)Close qsys

        6) Reverted qsys.qsys

        7) Open qsys.qsys

        Click validate system integrity

        9) Save (same xml error occurred while saving)
