Error:expected version number but got “12.1sp1”

Description

Due to a problem in the Quartus II software version 12.1 SP1 and earlier, the Qsys Instance Parameters tab shows a Tcl script template including the line:

package require -exact qsys 12.1sp1

This version is incorrect. Package versions are only available for major releases such as 12.1, not for service packs such as 12.1sp1.

Resolution

To work around this problem, change the version to the corresponding major release, for example 12.1.

This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Quartus II software.
