New ContributorI copied the directory containing the project using Windows 10 File Explorer to a new directory name, then opened the copied project in Quartus 21.1 Std to do the upgrade and continued from there. I was on vacation 11/14-19/2021. So I picked this up again before thanksgiving vacation. Last week, among other tasks that I had to address after vacation, I wrote a stub file that could be used in place of the DDR3LP DRAM controller for a compile test only. It is not a working DRAM controller. But it did allow me to test if there were other errors that were not visible because of the DRAM controller error being present. Quartus ran to completion. No errors. I do not have an answer yet.
New ContributorOne more thing. Perhaps this will help. Also see my 11-29-2021 06:39 AM reply. The date is later than yours, but it is listed as an earlier post.
In Quartus 16.0 the "DDR3 supporting UniPHY" controller is listed as part of the Altera IP Base Suite in the license file (see below).
# The following is a license file for the Altera IP Base Suite (FFT, NCO, DDR / DDR2
# SDRAM, DDR / DDR2 / DDR3 SDRAM supporting ALTMEMPHY, DDR2 / DDR3 supporting UniPHY,
# RLDRAM II, RLDRAM II supporting UniPHY, QDRII, QDRII / II+ supporting UNiPHY, FIR
# Compiler II, LPDDR2)
It is not listed as part of the Base IP Suite in the license file for Quartus Standard 21.1 (see below).
# The following is a license file for the IP Base Suite Package part number for IP
# Base Suite (NCO, FFT, FIR Compiler II)
Quartus Standard 21.1 apparently allows me to upgrade the DDR3LP controller since it does not issue any errors when I do the upgrade, only later when I try to compile. Perhaps this is a clue.
