Quartus 20.1std compilation fails for Quartus map - Device 10AS057K2F40I1SG
Hi Chandu sri, We will continue the discussion here. Issue Chandu Sri is facing compilation errors in Quartus when working with the Arria 10 device (10AS057K2F40I1SG/10AS057K2F40I1HG) and HPS IP, both in Quartus Standard and Pro editions (20.1std, 24.1Std, 25.1.1pro). Errors include unsupported device messages, out-of-range configuration values, and Tcl script issues when generating the HPS IP core. The Arria 10 device is flagged as deprecated in the Standard version; IP core generation fails in Pro edition as well. Example design generation is disabled for krpi_pcie.qsys; krpi_hps.qsys IP core creation fails with multiple errors. Actions Taken Device was changed from 10AS057K2F40I1SG to 10AS057K2F40I1HG, but errors persist. Attempted manual recreation of the IP cores in 25.1.1pro instead of upgrading legacy designs. Provided .qar file and detailed error logs to Intel support for further analysis. Next Steps / Recommendations Intel support (Kenny) has requested the .qar file for investigation. Suggested complete deletion and manual re-creation of the problematic HPS IP in Platform Designer. Discussion may continue on the Intel community forum if needed.Error(23098) when using IPM_IOPLL on Agliex 7
I am trying to use the IPM_IOPLL in my project on the Intel Agilex 7 FPGA I-Series Transceiver Development Kit (6x F-Tile) but whenever i use it i get the following error: Error(23098): One or more blocks are configured incorrectly and will not have the desired functionality. --BCM instance name: pio_0_2 Error(12274): A critical error occurred while the periphery placement was committed to the atom netlist.

Tensor block usage
The DSP_BLOCK_BALANCING is set to TENSOR, however, the final Flow Summary report doesn't report tensor blocks usage. Instead the DSP blocks show some usage. Also, none of the flow logs has any reference to the tensor blocks. It seems that Quartus Prime just ignored the DSP_BLOCK_BALACING setting! How can we force QP to target the tensor blocks and how to check if it did? Thanks
Quartus Eda_Writer keeps crashing
Quartus Prime v25 keeps crashing at the eda_writer step during the flow on Windows 11. I have tried different Quartus versions (II v13.1, Prime Lite v25, Prime Standard v25). All of them crashed at this step multiple times. Is this an issue with the design that I am trying to implement? I searched for this error on Google and I found a message that said it was a bug that was fixed in version 21.1. Strange that its still occuring now in v25 standard.

Hello fellow members, I have a Max10 FPGA Evaluation Kit board (10M08SAE144C8G) which i want to flash via JTAG. For this, i have installed Quartus Prime (18.1 version) and have USB Blaster 2 as an interface. After connecting the hardware, the LEDs on the board are stable. When i execute autodetect on the programmer , i get a dialog box stating "unable to scan device chain . Hardware is not connected"(screenshot attached). In the hardware setup , i coulkd see the usb blaster variant is added but still this error occurs. Similary when i try to run the .pof file , the diagnosis show "unexpected error in JTAG server -- error code 35" (screenshot attached). I checked the driver and it seems the USB blaster driver is also updated. On the command prompt, it shows 1) USB-Blaster variant [USB-1] Unable to lock chain - Hardware not attached Has someone encountered this issue before. Any help or suggestion would be highly appreciated. The screenshots can be seen in the attachments. Thanks. Best Regards, Ali

AGI027 Dev Kit example build takes a long time
I have a DK-DEV-AGI027-RA dev kit and am trying to build the pcie_ep example project in Quartus 25.3.1. I have had the spinning progress bar stuck at 0% for over 12 hours. It seems like it's stuck on the "IP Generation" step. Not sure if this is normal or something is wrong with my Quartus install or setup. Any help?Quartus/Signaltap complains about wrong version
Hello, we are using Quartus prime V24.1.0 for a rather large project. We have various signaltap files stored within git for analysis. Now, from time to time, it happens that quartus throws the following warning/assertion. Obviously, this assertion can be suppressedwith ENABLE_VHDL_STATIC_ASSERTIONS OFF, and everything is working. However this is no soulution as we want to have ENABLE_VHDL_STATIC_ASSERTIONS ON Error (22148): VHDL error at sld_ela_control.vhd(1263): Failure: "The design file sld_ela_control.vhd is released with Q uartus Prime software Version 24.1.0. It is not compatible with the parent entity. If you generated the parent entity us ing the Signal Tap megawizard, then you must update the parent entity using the megawizard in the current release.": exi ting elaboration File: c:/intelfpga_pro/24.1/quartus/libraries/megafunctions/sld_ela_control.vhd Line: 1263 If I remove the signaltap(file) entirely, and readd it, everything works. However, this is very annoying and time consuming. Q1. Why is this assertion triggered in the first place? We do not use any other versions. Q2. How do I "update the parent entity using the megawizard"? I'm unable to find an "update" option. To me deleting signaltap and re-creating it is not an update.... Thanks, Michael
Quartus Prime Pro 25.1 Crashes Randomly
I’ve been having trouble compiling projects with Quartus Prime Pro version 25.1 for several days. In an unpredictable manner, Quartus stops the compilation or freezes at a certain point—it can happen at the beginning, during synthesis, when the fitter starts, or during timing analysis. I’ve carried out extensive testing. I’ve tried reinstalling the program several times, and it’s true that right after installation, several successful compilations can be achieved; however, after around the fifth one, it usually starts failing and won’t compile anymore. The message window during compilation doesn’t provide any details about the error. I’ve also tried installing the newest version, but it behaves similarly. After a few attempts, I noticed that at the exact moment of the crash, the program generates a file called serv_req_info.txt, which I’ve attached. I’ve formatted my computer and updated to the latest version of Windows, and even replaced the internal SSD, but nothing has solved the issue. I’d appreciate any help in finding the cause of the problem.
