quartus_asm (14.0.1 web) crash compiling for DE0-Nano

Altera_Forum · ‎09-29-2014

This is with Fedora 20. I'm running the latest quartus web release. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?

I'm trying to upload to the DEO-Nano's EP4CE22F17C6 Cyclone 1V chip.

$ /opt/altera/14.0/quartus/bin/quartus_asm --read_settings_files=on --write_settings_files=off blinky -c blinky_top

Solution, make clean install of altera quartus 14.0. Start with major release, cyclonev package and modelsim. Then goon with update2

It seems to me that the key is "Fail to convert Feature ID - Unsupported family" Is the support package for the Cyclone IV family you are using installed? Was the project you are using originally designed for the Cyclone IV? If it came from an earlier family that isn't supported any more you will need to change the device type in Quartus before compiling.
