Why does compilation targeting a Stratix® V device fail?

Description

In various MegaCore® functions version 10.1 and earlier, designs that include an IP core and target a Stratix® V device do not compile even if you have a valid license for the IP core. Please refer to Altera® solution rd03082011_116.

• Video and Image Processing Suite
• Viterbi

Design Impact
