System-Console: Fatal Error

covfefe — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 18:57:49 GMT

Hi,

I am using the latest Intel System-Console 25.1 with Arria V GX.

Recently I have noticed intermittent Fatal Errors when attempting to load binaries.

In this example, I am loading the FPGA image on a loop, you can see the attempt above returns success, while the attempt below fails.

This does not happen with previous versions of the system console (I tried older ones). This is also not 100% predictable, but somehow probabilistic.

Error (22912): Unhandled exception: Fatal Error: Assertion failed E:\tmp\arc_1038622270\build\p4\tools\cpp\ddm\ddm_assessor.cpp:53: DDM_T::verify_token(token) : Cannot identify the client from function DDM_REPORT::DDM_ASSERTION_HANDLER::assertion_error in E:\tmp\arc_1038622270\build\p4\tools\cpp\ddm_report\ddm_report_msg.cpp@465 *** Fatal Error: Program termination requested Module: quartus_pgm.exe Stack Trace: Quartus 0x132dc: ERR_UNWINDER_TESTER::name + 0x22c (CCL_ERR) Quartus 0x134aa0: DMS_INTERP_ROOT_LOCK_GUARD::thr_lock_internal + 0x4e0 (dni_dms) Quartus 0x1df3c1: DMS_INTERP_ROOT_LOCK_GUARD::thr_lock_internal + 0xaae01 (dni_dms) Quartus 0x107f: (VCRUNTIME140_1) Quartus 0x26f4: __NLG_Return2 + 0x15a4 (VCRUNTIME140_1) Quartus 0xa1c25: RtlCaptureContext2 + 0x4a5 (ntdll) Quartus 0x134b7d: DMS_INTERP_ROOT_LOCK_GUARD::thr_lock_internal + 0x5bd (dni_dms) Quartus 0x19a1c: RtlActivateActivationContextUnsafeFast + 0x11c (ntdll) Quartus 0x6d2f6: LdrGetProcedureAddressEx + 0x2d6 (ntdll) Quartus 0x6d089: LdrGetProcedureAddressEx + 0x69 (ntdll) Quartus 0x6d10f: LdrGetProcedureAddressEx + 0xef (ntdll) Quartus 0x6d10f: LdrGetProcedureAddressEx + 0xef (ntdll) Quartus 0x6d10f: LdrGetProcedureAddressEx + 0xef (ntdll) Quartus 0x6d10f: LdrGetProcedureAddressEx + 0xef (ntdll) Quartus 0xd3cb1: LdrInitShimEngineDynamic + 0x3871 (ntdll) Quartus 0x75dea: LdrInitializeThunk + 0x1da (ntdll) Quartus 0x75c72: LdrInitializeThunk + 0x62 (ntdll) Quartus 0x75c1d: LdrInitializeThunk + 0xd (ntdll) End-trace
