jesd204b block works on a project, but fails when the top level heirarchy is being exported and used in another similar project

[Amirg]

Hi,

i want to export the top level partition, then use it in another (similar) project, but replace one of the lower-level heirarchies.

the project which works fine when being compiled flat, fails with "two instances "..." and "..." have the same debug node with entity name "altera_fabric_endpoing" have the same instance index 0.

this is a bit weird since anything worked just fine on the original project, and want changed at all, the only diffrent thing is that thetop level is being imported.

This is altera's jesd204b, and it is have several instances in the project.

this is done on quartus 16.1.2

Thanks.

Hie,

This issue is because the top level hierarchy is not standalone that can be exported. There are lower level hierarchy files that require to be exported as well. Hence, the expected use model is not to export the top level partition alone, but rather generate the entire JESD IP using QSYS or IP editor and using it at calling it directly at the top level.

Hope this explanation helps.

Regards,

Nathan
