Quartus Prime software quit unexpectedly during Analysis & Synthesis

I run your design and got the below internal error.

Could you help to confirm? It is slightly different from the previous post. Line: 1143 vs 1142

Internal Error: Sub-system: QIS, File: /quartus/synth/qis/qis_parallel_helper.cpp, Line: 1142

End-trace

If it is below internal error:

Internal Error: Sub-system: QIS, File: /quartus/synth/qis/qis_parallel_helper.cpp, Line: 1142

I found that this issue has been fixed in the latest Quartus released version 22.1 and will generate a real error message now.

You may try to download the Quartus version and run the design to check if the issue fix.

Great to hear that you are able to find the root cause and resolve the issue! I will update this IE in our Knowledge DataBase for other users that might come across similar issue.

With that, I will now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you.

Hi,

I do not find this internal error in our database.

Could you help to share your design .qar file that could duplicate this error?

As without duplication of the error from our side, it would be hard for the engineering team to debug it.

Best Regards,

Richard Tan

You can create a simplified design that could duplicate the error, which will take time.

Or you could send me the .qar through email. I will you send you a personal email and you can attach the design on top of it.

Else, there is not much we can do to resolve the internal error.

Btw, may I know how long do you run the Analysis and synthesis with your design?

For my case, it never stops running after 1 day until I force stop it and the IE pop up.
