Why does Quartus® Prime Pro report Error (26193) and a Fatal Error in ddm_module_iters.cpp during Synthesis for F-Tile designs with secure MIFs?

Description

Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 26.1.1, Synthesis may fail on Agilex® 7 FPGA F-Tile designs that use secure Memory Initialization Files (MIFs) when hierarchy paths contain period (.) characters introduced by RTL generate blocks.

The Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software incorrectly treats periods inside generate-block instance names as hierarchy separators. As a result, the tool cannot resolve the secure MIF hierarchy path, reports Error (26193), and then terminates with a fatal assertion.

Resolution

To fix this problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 26.1.1, install patch 1.03 below for the correct OS.

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