Hi Chandu sri, We will continue the discussion here. IssueChandu Sri is facing compilation errors in Quartus when working with the Arria 10 device (10AS057K2F40I1SG/10AS057K2F40I1HG) and HPS IP, both in Quartus Standard and Pro editions (20.1std, 24.1Std, 25.1.1pro). Errors include unsupported device messages, out-of-range configuration values, and Tcl script issues when generating the HPS IP core. The Arria 10 device is flagged as deprecated in the Standard version; IP core generation fails in Pro edition as well. Example design generation is disabled for krpi_pcie.qsys; krpi_hps.qsys IP core creation fails with multiple errors. Actions Taken Device was changed from 10AS057K2F40I1SG to 10AS057K2F40I1HG, but errors persist. Attempted manual recreation of the IP cores in 25.1.1pro instead of upgrading legacy designs. Provided .qar file and detailed error logs to Intel support for further analysis. Next Steps / Recommendations Intel support (Kenny) has requested the .qar file for investigation. Suggested complete deletion and manual re-creation of the problematic HPS IP in Platform Designer. Discussion may continue on the Intel community forum if needed.

Hi Richard,I could get your design working on 25.3pro for Windows 11. re-installation of the same on Linux is in progress, as i need to get volumes created and deploy.will let you know on the status once i get through.Also, parallelly i am starting to upgrade our actual design to 25.3pro. will get back to you if any issues in this front as well.Thanks,Chandu sri

Hi Richard,I could get this error working. had to enable pad_out_n signal from GPIO IP core as my I/O standard is LVDS. currently I am getting error for pin assignments.working on clearing the I/O assignments. will raise a new ticket if issue is not resolved at my end.Thanks for the support,Regards,Chandu sriError (20403): Global setting for OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_FAR_END_VMEAS is not supported.

As of Quartus Prime Standard Edition Version 22.1std.2, support for Arria 10 devices is deprecated in Quartus Prime Standard Edition.I would recommend to use Quartus Pro if plan to upgrade to a later Quartus version.I checked your design In Quartus Pro 25.1.1 and noticed there is a krpi_hps.qsys with generation error message stating that it need to be connected to a clock and reset sources. Could you confirm the design provided able to duplicate the error? Where and how does the error occur?Is it during the Quartus compilation or the Platform Designer generation? More details is required.Thank you. Regards,Richard Tan

Hi kenny,could you try .qar files shared on Intel community forum. we are having urgent requirement of this upgrade. Thanks,Chandu sri

Hi Richard,The error is seen in Platform Designer for HPS IP core creation in 25.1.1pro version. I have shared the error message and .qar file on Intel forum. attaching the same here.

Also, I missed to mention one point, upgarding Ip core is removing all connections for a10_hps (design shared by you). please see below image.

In addition to my earlier reply, could you let me know if any separate package files need to be installed as part of installation or is any specific licensing is required.
kindly confirm.

  There is no separate package needed. You will need Quartus Pro license.
  I just install the Quartus 25.3 with below selected and using a 30 day evaluation license, it still works fine from my side.
  
  I suggest to uninstall the Quartus and reinstall it from clean.
  
  Install this patch as well: Why do I unexpectedly observe intermittent DDM Errors? | Altera Community
  
  Additionally, here's are general troubleshooting for Quartus installation:
  
  1. Before you download and install the software, please check that your machine system met the minimum Hardware and Software Requirements. Ensure that your Operating System is supported. 
  
  https://docs.altera.com/r/docs/683472/25.3/altera-fpga-software-installation-and-licensing/determining-hardware-requirements
  https://docs.altera.com/r/docs/683472/25.3/altera-fpga-software-installation-and-licensing/determining-software-requirements
  
  2. Check that the disk space is sufficient for the installation of the Altera FPGA software.
  
  3. If you are running antivirus software, try to temporarily disable the antivirus software during the Quartus Prime software download and installation process.
  
  4. Install the software with Administrator privileges.
  
  5. If install using .tar, try to re-download the Quartus .tar installation package and install again. Check that the installation files .tar is not corrupted by checking the checksum.
  6. Try to download and auto install using the new Quartus installer.
  
  7. Check your OS history update, e.g. to check if the issue happen after some specific Window update.

Hi Richard,
We are having Quartus 25.3pro on Linux OS. we are able to run other projects without any issues. For better understanding, please let me know if we can have a team's meeting to discuss in detail by screen sharing and debugging the issue at my end.
Thanks,

Hi Richard,
regarding my Windows issue for build compilation on 25.3pro - It always shows errors that files are not generated for Ip cores. I regenerate and trigger Analysis and elaboration. It fails with errors showing Ip files missing for some other IP cores.
cleaned projected and tried. Sometimes it passes elaboration stage but never passes Synthesis stage.
Could you let me know your availability for a team's meeting to discuss in this regard.
Thanks,
Chandu sri

Hi Chandu Sri,

Do you able to resolve the error (21961)?

This might be related to Arria 10 device.
Error(21961): Input port OE of a "LVDS" I/O output buffer "*|gpio_0|core|i_loop[0].altera_gpio_bit_i|output_buffer.obuf_0" is not supported. | Altera Community - 340667

Could you try regenerating the IP?
If the issue persists, you may also try instantiating a new GPIO IP with the same settings and replacing the existing instance.

Regards,
Richard Tan

  Hi Chandu,
  
  As the initial issue for this thread is not showing anymore, could you create a new forum post regarding the new issue?
  Error(21961): Input port OE of a "LVDS" I/O output buffer "*|gpio_0|core|i_loop[0].altera_gpio_bit_i|output_buffer.obuf_0" is not supported.
  
  We prefer a new case for each unique technical problem, as it aids our case analysis and helps us assess our customer support requirements.
  Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Richard, regenerating files didn't help. tried creating new IP in 25.3pro with same settings. will let you know if any further issues.
