Error (10161): Verilog HDL error at rcfg_sdi_cdr.sv(44): object "altera_xcvr_native_a10_reconfig_parameters_CFG0" is not declared. Verify the object name is correct. If the name is correct, declare the object.

Description

You might see the above error during the Analysis & Elaboration stage, if you are using the serial digital interface (SDI) RX design files from the SDI II IP core generated design example in the Quartus® Prime Software version 17.0. This is because the rcfg_sdi_cdr module is unable to locate the transceiver reconfiguration parameter packages by default. 

Resolution

Add the following Quartus II Settings File (.qsf) assignment to your QSF file:

set_global_assignment -name SYSTEMVERILOG_FILE <file directory>/rcfg_sdi_cdr.sv -library sdi_rx_sys_altera_xcvr_native_a10_170

You may refer to the IP generated design example QSF file for further details. This information is updated in the design example user guide.
