Error: avalon_st_adapter.data_format_adapter_0: "Data Symbols Per Beat" (outSymbolsPerBeat) 0 is out of range: 1-32

Description

In the Quartus® II software version 15.0 Update 2 and earlier, you may receive this error when generating a Qsys testbench for the Altera Modular ADC IP core.

This error occurs because the ADC Avalon®-ST sink does not have a data port. The Avalon-ST source Bus Functional Model requires a data port width greater than 0.

Resolution

To avoid this error, only generate the simple testbench for Qsys systems that export this port.
