I tried Quartus 18.1 Standard. Basic functions are still broken. For example, many IP will not open up in the wizard. Also, the update IP step is broken and many (eg Triple Speed Ethernet) say the up...
Ok, I took 3 hours of my time to reinstall 18.1 and capture the exact issues (see attached). I'm on Windows 7 Pro.
1) Components I selected on install.
2) I did not reinstall USB Blaster
3) Open my 18.0 projects and click on "Launch IP Upgrade Tool".
4) List of components it says need upgraded. I click "Perform Automatic Upgrade".
5) It fiddles around for a while.
6) Tells me which ones failed.
7) List of errors.
Note, I had edited pll_wizard.lst and altera_eth_tse_wizard.lst as per forum post shown in Fig 8 and 9 (which were not easy to find given how screwed up the new forum search engines are). Putting them back to their original
did not help and the ones in 18.1 also seem to be in error.
When I attempted to attach the .lst files, the ANSWER button was grayed out, so I added a .txt suffix (yet another issue with the forums).
When I do a File -> Open on MAIN_PLL.vhd (the generated core) it just opens MAIN_PLL.vhd (same for EMAC.vhd) instead of the wizard. Things like the FIFO open in the wizard as expected.
