in 20.1 synthesis embedded pragma support for vhdl --synthesis library xxx appears to have been removed or is it part of the licensed versions now ?

[CStra20]

free edition targeting cyclone 10 GX in 20.1 the embedded pragma --synthesis library xxx is not working.

Hi Chris,

What do you mean by not working? Is there any possible error message(s) and snapshots you could provide?

Refer to link below for VHDL Synthesis Attributes and Directives

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/quartushelp/13.0/mergedProjects/hdl/vhdl/vhdl_file_dir.htm

Thanks,

Regards

See below the output. First line of bsv_pkg.vhd is the embedded pragma --synthesis library bsv

This pragma works in previous version of quartus.
