Quartus Prime Lite 23.1 PLL Wizard Problem

Hello,

I am a beginner trying to use ALTPLL to generate a PLL IP. The problem is that the MegaWizard quit when I reach the third step "Output Clocks" and don't allow me to continue the IP generation. First image shows the wizard and the step it quits at. Second image shows the menu that appear after the wizard quit, when "yes" is pressed an empty .qip file get added to the project.

Am I doing something wrong? please help.

    Cyclone IV familiy definitely supports ALT PLL, since its introduction in 2009.. Here is a screen shot from Quartus 22.1...

    BTW linked document is dated from 2006, Cyclone IV introduced in 2009... Of course ALTPLL can`t suport it in 2006..

    /****/Solution/****/

    Basic function is broken in version 23.1 ...

    Either downgrading to <=22.1 or copying ALTPLL from 22.1 to 23.x solves the issue...

    /****/

    Have a nice day.

      Hello Intel,

      I installed the patch onto a 23.1 Quartus Lite install, and it fixed the PLL wizard. However, Quartus now repeatedly prompts me to upgrade all the IP blocks even though they are all up to date.

      Please let us know if there is a fix for this and when we can expect a new version of Quartus Lite that doesn't require this patch.

      Thank you.

        The patch was for Quartus Standard, not Lite version.

        For Quartus Lite I do recommend to stay in 22.1.
