I am using Quartus 22.1 Lite software. I has been working fine until I try to set the Signal Tap Trigger flow control to "State-base". When I set it to State-base instead of Sequential, the entire program crashes. This does not happen with Quartus 20.1 or 20.1.1 . Is there a fix for this or do I need to just use one of the earlier versions of Quartus???

Does it happen with every .stp file? If not, maybe the one you are using is corrupted. If it happens with all .stp files, it could be a bad installation of Quartus. Try an uninstall and reinstall.

Try to delete the stp and create a new one. Run and see if this issue still persist.Anyway is there any error message showed by the Quartus when it is crash?

This problem occurs without a *.stp file being loaded. All I have to do is open up Signal Tap from the Quartus Tools Menu and then go to the "Target Flow box" and select "State Based" and then both the Signal Tap and the Quartus programs crash and go away. I don't have to load a *.stp file to get this to happen. I have loaded Quartus Lite 22.1 on another W10 computer and encountered the same problem as on my main computer. I have also found the same problem with Quartus Lite 21.1. However Quartus Lite 20.1.1 works OK and doesn't have the problem. As the program is crashing a blank "Quartus Prime Problem Report" box appears momentarily and then goes away as the program crashes. Hence to summarize, I have seen the problem with two versions of Quartus Lite (22.1 & 21.1) on two different W10 machines. There is something about trying to get Signal Tap to work with a State Based Trigger that makes it go bonkers on at least two different W10 computers. Am I the only person to experience this problem??

I meant to say "Trigger Flow Control" box not "Target Flow" Box

Bill,

I'm checking this with developer. Will let you know once there is any update.
Seem for now you have to use 20.1.1 Lite as I am getting feedback for this.

Hi William,

From IPS has Created Case 00774316 - ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC - Quartus Lite STP [5003b00001jXjflx0] by Robert Polk, the agent support is currently investigating and feedback the same issue to developer. Thus I will follow up from there and let you know any update.

Hi William,

Seem this issue has been idling and replicate with the IPS filed by the DFAE, perhaps you may follow up the update from there as I will close the ticket here and you can workaround it using 20.1.1.
Let me know if there is any concern on this.
I am apologize for the inconvenience caused.
