    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.

        Thank you for the reply Marco.

        The patch in question was posted in reply to "Quartus Prime Lite 23.1 PLL Wizard Problem", and no errors were reported when applying the patch.

        Note that I had basically the same problem as reported by Nawaf. When using the PLL IP MegaFunction wizard, the wizard would quit after screen 5 (of 12). Applying the patch fixed the PLL problem, but it also seems to have created at least one new problem (continually prompting me to upgrade all IP blocks).

        Most likely we will want to reconfigure the parameters for the PLL using the Wizard. Therefore, we need a stable 23.1 Lite version that supports creating PLLs. Can Intel please create a patch for the Lite version?
