quartus 2 >> qsys >> conduit signals export error

Hello. I know exactly where you got this error. I've just gotten it myself working through the tutorial from here http://zhehaomao.com/blog/fpga/2013/12/27/sockit-3.html . I'm using Quartus Prime 15.1. I read through the manual ftp://ftp.altera.com/up/pub/altera_material/15.1/tutorials/making_qsys_components.pdf in order to get an understanding of how Qsys had changed from 13 to 15 with regards to interfaces and conduits. It all went well until I attempted analysis & compilation then I got those exact same errors. The way that Qsys has merged the signals and interfaces to one tab for the creation of custom components is where the error originates. When you are told to set the signal type to export you instead have to add the interface "conduit" and then drag and drop the signals into it after that when you click on the signals under the conduit and change their "signal type" the name you enter in the signal type box gets appended to the signal export name. For instance I set the delay_ctrl delay port to export2 and found that the exported port was named delay_ctrl_export2 . The exported port names can be found in the soc_system.v file that Qsys generated for you. So for example if you wanted to use the original sockit_test.v top level file from the tutorial linked above without modifying it you would simply set the signal type to delay, slower and faster respectively in Qsys after you've moved the signals to the conduit. I hope this helps you and anyone else who comes across this.
