Quartus prime pro 19.1 always crashes on my project using arria 10 FPGA.

Quartus prime pro 19.1 always crashes on my project using arria 10 FPGA.

Quartus 13.1 on Stratix 3 FPGA has no problem with the same project (aside specific PLL/RAM/ROM,IO BUFFERS components).

See attached crash message.

Entry is a vqm from synplify pro 2019.09 (same for stratix 3 project).

When I change some synthesis option, Quartus 19.1 goes further but crashes with another error,

see second attachment.

Hi, can you share your design that can duplicate this error?

What are the change made in the synthesis option that crashes with the second error?

No, I cannot share it.

I understand that you can not share your design due to confidential.

If possible, could you create a simplified design that can duplicate the same error? Our engineering team need a design in order to do any further debug.

Also, how much RAM does the computer you are using for compilation have?

 

You may also want to try trashing the qdb folder in your project directory before compiling to make sure there is no corruption from a prior compilation.

Plenty of RAM:

 

Removing qdb does not help.

I will have quartus 19.3 installed soon, let's see how it goes.

Attaching the constrain file in case that helps figuring out the issue (it is the arriaX if checks).

Quartus pro 19.3 ran ok for 6 hours till the end when I removed the complete constraint file

(I did that because the crash message was pointing to that).

So Quartus has some issue with the SDC.

I will have have to check which one makes it crash.

If you have any suggestion, tell me.

Those constraints below makes quartus 19.3 arria x to crash (quartus 13.1 stratix 3 is ok with):

 

set max_input_delay 9

set max_output_delay 23

 

set_max_delay -from [get_ports *] $max_input_delay

set_max_delay -to  [get_ports *] $max_output_delay

  set min_input_delay 0

  set min_output_delay 0

 

  set_min_delay -to  [get_ports *] $min_output_delay

 

Also makes it crash at the end of the fitter (max delay was making it crash at the end of synthesis).

Removing it too.

Update: It is important to define the IO delay at the end of the sdc file,

because quartus does not know yet the clock definition when get_clocks * is used at the top.

 

I moved them at the bottom and I don't use get_clocks * anymore,

I define each pin with respective clock, using -add_delay when necessary (multiple clock domain per pin)..
