Error (23035) Tcl error running dla_build_example_design.py script

[RubenPadial]

Hello,

I got this error when I run "dla_build_example_design.py" esample script with Intel FPGA AI suite. It is run according to the "Intel FPGA AI Suite SoC Design Example User Guide" and it should be executed even the license was not valid. According to documentation if the ir no license available, bitstreams should be compiled but with limited inferences. However, I am not able to compile it.

Hi,

It should not be any issue with the floating license. But there might some bug with your Nios V license. May I know who provided it and is it only you facing the issue? If other ppl is also facing the issue then I would recommend to regenerate the license again.

Hello @JohnT_Intel 

I got from the Intel FPGA Self-Service Licensing Center. Currently, no other computers or users are using Intel FPGA AI suite (we only have it installed this computer) and Nios V license. However, I  verified that it is working on another computer through the Quartus License Manager, and it appears to be working.

Hi,

Have you try compiling with Nios V design? As this should also observed the same issue. Other project is not impacted.

Hi,

Have you try compiling with Nios V design? Appreciate your feedback

[RubenPadial]

Hello  @JohnT_Intel,

sorry for the late answer.

I'm not familiar with Nios V design so I followed the Nios® V Processor Example Design aand downloaded the top.par file. I attempted to compile Nios V from scratch using the build_sof.py script according to readme.txt file. Unfortubnately, I got a license error:
FlexNet Licensing error:-140,148.
Error (13223): Verilog HDL or VHDL error: cannot open Verilog file 'ip/sys/cpu/intel_niosv_m_unit_2141/synth/opcode_def.sv'

Hi,

It looks like the license is not fully recognize. Please help to check with your local sales or FAE that provide you the license.

[JohnT_Intel]

Hi,

Have you able to confirm with your local sales on the license file that you have?

[RubenPadial]

Hello @JohnT_Intel ,

I created a ticket in the license support center with no response.

[JohnT_Intel]

Hi,

Do you regenerate the full license or you ammend the existing license?

[RubenPadial]

Hello @JohnT_Intel,

The problem was finally solved by upgrading the daemon in the license server. Thank you for your help.

[JohnT_Intel]

Hi,

I am glad that the issue is resolved after updating the daemon.
