Why do I get a fatal error when I have a wildcard in my Nodefinder search?

Description

Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 24.3.1 and earlier, you might see a fatal error when searching in the Nodefinder launched from the Signal Tap Logic Analyzer. The error mostly occurs when the Nodefinder searches for a wildcard in the Named path at the hierarchy level where an encrypted IP is instantiated.

Resolution

To work around this problem, do not use a wildcard character at the beginning of the Named path or levels of the hierarchy with an instantiated encrypted IP.
