Error when running pin_assignment tcl script

YChen31 · ‎10-23-2018

Hi everyone,

After I used IP catalog to generate my DDR3 controller, the system will automatically generate pin_assignment tcl script.

However, when I ran the tcl the console showed the error messages below.

I spend about 2 days on this problem but still can't find the solution.

It would be very help if anyone have similar experience or just give me some hint.

Thanks!

Hi,

Have you performed analysis and synthesis of the design by clicking Processing > Start > Analysis and Synthesis?

I have successfully run xx_pin_assignment.tcl script attached the image and tcl console log.

I have used Quartus 18.1 std.

Let me know if this has helped resolve the issue you are facing or if you need any further assistance.

Best Regards,

Anand Raj Shankar
