NCO Generation fails in QPro v20.1 with an error.

[BHoey]

I've got v20.1 pro installed with just the Arria 10 devices. As a test I ran the NCO IP with just the defaults.

These are messages from the Platform Designer generation :

Info: qsys-generate D:\temp\test.ip --synthesis=VERILOG --output-directory=D:\temp\test --family="Arria 10" --part=10AS066H3F34E2LG

Can you try to install all devices? This seems to be a bug that need all device to be install.

Also, may I know what OS that you were using?

[BHoey]

Installed all other Devices (40GB worth) and still have the same issue. Tried the FFT as well and it was fine. Changed devices to C10 and had the same issue.

Win10

Same error on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (Only Arria 10 installed)

[Kenny_Tan]

In your Ubuntu, can you install all device and see the result?

Please note that we are aware of this issue. But we want to collect whether Linux able to resolve it will all device install.

Understand that Windows still failed even though all device had been install.

Failed as well. Ran command line and get these details .... qsys-generate /home/brian/Work/test/nco_test/nco_test.ip --synthesis=VERILOG --output-directory=/home/brian/Work/test/nco_test/nco_test --family="Arria 10" --part=10AS016C3U19E2LG <truncated message waterfall> at com.altera.qsys.generate.QsysGenerate.act(QsysGenerate.java:1201) at com.altera.utilities.AltCmdLineToolBase.runTheTool(AltCmdLineToolBase.java:786) at com.altera.qsys.generate.QsysGenerate.main(QsysGenerate.java:274) Caused by: com.altera.infrastructure.devices.DeviceDBEnvironmentException*: /opt/intelFPGA_pro/20.1/quartus/common/devinfo/device.db does not exist* at com.altera.infrastructure.devices.DeviceDB.<init>(Unknown Source) ... 49 more 2020.05.04.14:23:33 Error: nco_ii_0: Problem getting the aliases for all known families com.altera.infrastructure.devices.DeviceDBException: Could not execute query: SELECT fam_alias.alias, fam.display_name FROM family_alias fam_alias JOIN family fam ON fam.id == fam_alias.family_id union all select name, display_name from family union all select display_name, display_name from family; com.altera.jdbcsqlite.Exception: no such table: family 2020.05.04.14:23:33 Info: nco_test: Done "nco_test" with 2 modules, 1 files *** That ../common/devinfo/device.db is not in my 20.1 installs.

[Kenny_Tan]

Noted. I will try to get a workaround for you.

[Kenny_Tan]

The temporally workaround provided by the engineering would be the generate the IP in 19.4 and use the RTL generated in the 20.1 Quartus release. We will file a KDB/Documentation on this.

We are sorry for the inconvenience cause,

[BHoey]

Is there a target release for this to be fixed?

[Kenny_Tan]

It should be fixed 20.2

Thanks
