SP1 available also for Quartus-7.1 Web Edition?

Moin,

Sorry but as far as i can see it, this kind of release notes is rather unusable because it seems not to be complete! In another thread here http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=456 there is given advice to get patch 0.20 from Altera to fix a severe bug in Sopc.

Nothing about that in the SP1 release notes; that means either the release notes are not complete or the bug is still in 7.1SP1...

What are the bugs, the patches 0.01 - 0.19 and 0.21 - .... are for?

I'm sorry, i'm rather new to FPGA Design, i've just done one simpler design before (with the chips of Alteras competitor), where i had only the ususal newbie problems. But no hassels like this, with unusable designs,etc.

How do you all manage to work with that SW; how do you know, that a strange behaviour of the SW is not your fault but just a bug in the new Version? It takes me awful lots of time to track down issues like that - my boss wants to see progress in my design; not my efforts in finding strange effects in Quartus.

When a service pack or new version comes out, I recommend installing it in addition to the previous version rather than uninstalling the previous version. That way you can easily go back to the previous version of Quartus if you run into a problem you suspect is specific to the new version. This is the way I've handled new versions since way back in early MAX+plus II days.

Whoaa - that's just what i idid. But to me this looks like it was no good idea at all having 2 different Versions of Quartus on the PC. Suddenly in my QII6.1 there are also Librarypaths set to 7.1 stuff - resulting in compile errors of course. I don't know, who set it, but i didn't.

Meanwhile and after i've read about the fun others had with QII7.1 i uninstalled 7.1, removed the 7.1 Librarypaths as good as i could from my 6.1 Project(s). One seems to compile again, on the other i get an error i'd describe here in another thread.

I'm pretty glad, that i'm just in the starting phase of a design and it doesn't hurt too much to do a new design from scratch, but nevertheless it's A.) timeconsuming and B.) i have no good feeling coming into a phase with such tools, where sudden errors would hurt much.

bye,

WK
