Error(332000): ERROR: Argument <node_object> gives an object that is not of node, kpr, port, reg, pin, net or comb type. Specify one that gives an object of required type.

Description

Due to a problem in the  Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 20.1, you may see this error message when your design has the next three conditions:

• The design has an instance of the Signal Tap logic analyzer or the In-System Sources and Probes with synchronous transfers.
• A clock port in the design is named using the following naming convention clk_<digits>. For example: clk_100.
• The number of clocks in the design is greater than the value represented by <digits>.

Resolution

To avoid this problem, verify the names used in the design for the clock ports and avoid a naming convention as clk_<digits>.

This problem is fixed starting with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 20.2.
