Why do I see generation error message when generating F-Tile Multi Channel DMA IP for PCI Express* Example Design using Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 24.1 for Windows*?

Description

Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 24.1 and onwards for Windows, you may see the below error message when generating F-Tile Multi Channel DMA IP for PCI Express* Example Design.

"file delete -force -- "${ORI_TEMP_PATH}/pcie_ed_rp/pcie.qsf""

Error: Failed to generate example design example_design to: C:\altera_pro\24.1\quartus\bin64\intel_pcie_ftile_mcdma_0_example_design

Resolution

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:

1. Perform the design example generation step in a Linux* environment.
2. Use Quartus Prime Pro Edition software version 25.3. During the design example generation, disable the “Simulation” option in the IP GUI.

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