Stratix 10 SOC Development Kit example design qts_fmca_Q18.0.1_B261 not compiling

[MohanY]

I am trying to compile an example design for the Stratix 10 SOC Development Kit.

Under Development Kit Documentation , I downloaded and installed
L-Tile Production (18.0.1 or higher)

Tried the following example from the examples folder with Quartus Prime Pro Version 18.0.1 Build 261

example folder : qts_fmca_Q18.0.1_B261

Opened qts_fmca.qsf file

When compiled , it failed

I get the following are the errors that I get with Quartus Prime Pro 18.0.1 Build 261

Removing these names from the file list doesn't help. T=It gives a bunch of other errors.

It could be a permissions error on your project directory or the directory path may be too long.  Try bringing the project up some levels to have short file paths.

Hello MohanY

Welcome to INTEL forum. Have you tried out the suggestion from SSTRELL? 

[MohanY]

Yes, I tried that. I removed all the references to  "nwang" folders. It may be the person who created this design. After doing all that, I get the following error message now.

Hi

Thanks for update and apologies for the delay as I was out of office recently. As per my understanding, dev kit reference design is meant to be used with the specific Quartus version only, we don’t support reference design upgrade using Quartus version. The recommendation is to stick with the same Quartus version.

Also, the dev kit reference design is meant mainly for BTS (board test system) testing only and if you are interested to learn about some specific IP, then you can refer back to the IP solution example design. Thanks

We have not heard from you and I hope all is well. I will now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you.
