Hi,

The RAM for 32-bit OS is 4G (3.24G usable)

You mean it's still not big enough for EP3SL340 ?

But as I know, the max RAM size support by 32bit OS is 3.24G.

The RAM for 64-bit OS is 4G which is less than 6.0G as you said.

So the root cause of the internal error in quartus 64-bit is still the less of RAM ?

I feel dizzy why didn't it show "out of memory" just like situation in quartus 32-bit ?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

unfortunately it is diffcult to say what the root cause for internal error of the 64bit version is. Can you try Quartus version 11.0 or 9.1 ?

After "Analysis & synthesis " you could see the device utilization. If possible try a run with a smaller target device ( with less memory requirement). If the run finished succesfully we can be sure that the problem is not design related.

Kind regards
