cyclone 10GX DDR3 (not DDR3L) fitter plan error "Error(20403): Global setting for OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_N

[Yoram]

Cyclone 10GX EV board example design of DDR3x40 on Quartus pro 20.4

After IP upgrade (also without upgrade ). The following error occurs at the fitter plan stage:

"Error(20403): Global setting for OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_NEAR_END_VMEAS is not supported. Please use this setting with pin assignments."

On quartus 20.4 error message web page there is no reference to that number.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/quartushelp/20.4/index.htm#msgs/msgs/msgs.htm

On quartus 17.1 (origin of that core) there is no problem.

But cant use it because lacking of Ethernet stuff.

Please advice

That sounds like a board trace model assignment.  Check your .qsf file and any board trace model assignments in the Pin Planner.

done succefully.

Quartus 20.4 comment some irrelevant assignments when upgrade from previous IP versions but fail to comment the following:

"OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_NEAR/FAR......."

Hi Yoram,

Do you still got the error message

"Error(20403): Global setting for OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_NEAR_END_VMEAS is not supported. Please use this setting with pin assignments." ?

What do you mean by your last feedback?

Quartus 20.4 comment some irrelevant assignments when upgrade from previous IP versions but fail to comment the following:

"OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_NEAR/FAR......."

Can you elaborated it?

Thanks,

Adzim

Not a big issue. But when I did upgrade the IP, some lines in the QSF file were marked as obsolete by quartus .

The unsupported setting of "OUTPUT_IO_TIMING_NEAR/FAR......."   was not commented as expected.

I did it manually as suggested in the first replay by sstrell.

Hi Yoram,

Thanks to confirm about that.

You can always file a new case in this forum if you got any problem.

Thanks.
