Why does the Viterbi Megacore generate an incorrect rr bus width?

Description
Due to a problem in the Viterbi Megacore® version 16.0 and earlier, the rr bus width calculation is always equal to n*softbit, therefore the rr bus width is incorrect when you select TCM mode.
Resolution

To workaround this issue:

1. Open the altera_vit_ii_parameters.tcl file from the following directory
<Installation path>\ip\altera\dsp\altera_vit_ii\src\tcl_libs

2. Comment out line 414, and then add the following script
        if { == "T" } {
                set_parameter_value rr_size [expr **2]
            } else {
          set_parameter_value rr_size [expr *]
           }

3. Re-open Quartus® and Re-generate the MegaCore

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