May I know is this error occurs with the recent Quartus standard version 20.1?
Do you able to generate HDL using the older Quartus standard version e.g. 18.1?

Hi ShyanYew

I tried on several version of Quartus Prime and all of them hit the same issue.

Quartus 20.1 Standard / Stratix-IV on Ubuntu 18.04

Quartus 19.1 Standard / Stratix-IV on Ubuntu 18.04

Quartus II 14.1/ Stratix on Ubuntu 18.04

Thanks,

Shige

    Windows 10.0.19041.508

    Quartus 20.1.0 Build 711 Standard

    I tried to generate the DDR3 module in Quartus 20.1 on Windows 10. The results are different with and without WSL installed. Both failed to generate the HDLs at the end.

    1. Without WSL as suggested FB: 533911/2205701105

    2. WSL installed as directed in the Installation Documents

    It didn't fail at the above location but proceeded to generate the makefile. Than it failed to compile the alt_dcache_flush_all.c for some reasons. The nios2-elf-gcc.exe may be missing but I cannot verify it because the temporary folder is removed after the failure.
