quartus_map ended unexpectedly 12.0 sp2 upgrade

Hi,

Just a heads up on some flaky behaviour I am seeing with the quartus 12.0 sp2 upgrade.

I upgraded my Linux 32 bit Quartus to 12.0 sp2 this morning because the sp1 quartus compile was crashing during the fitter phase. I saw another crash in the fitter phase after upgrading, and then the compile began to crash repeatedly as follows in the analysis and synthesis phase. I did try removing the db and incremental_db folders as suggested elesewhere on this forum w/o seeing any immediate improvement. Finally even the quartus gui crashed, and after it restarted my issues unexpectedly vanished.

    Interesting, it sounds that the TSE IP is quite unstable in the last releases.

    Instead of upgrade the TSE IP, perhaps it would be better to generate it from scratch in the new Qsys system.

    I guess you should open a service request to ALTERA.

    Best way to solve that is to find what makes quartus crash. You could simply do that by comment sections of your code and launch compilation.

    Once the faultly code has been identified, open an SR and add your Quartus project to the SR.

    Sometimes, the only way is to wait for future release of Quartus.

    I have Windows 7 x64 running Quartus 12.1 64-bit SJ Full Version, ran into this error, and just restarted my computer. All worked after that. Just posting this in case someone else has the same error. By the looks of it Linux users are mostly affected.
