Bug in Quartus Prime Lite 23.1 - ALTPLL MegaWizard

[pertrl]

Hello,

in the recent version of Quartus Prime Lite 23.1 the MegaWizard of ALTPLL is broken.

It crashes when Tab "3 Output Clocks" is selected. Either directly or by clicking next.

Hello,

Did you find a solution. I have the same issue with the same version as you ?

Hello,

I downgrade Quartus in 22.1 version. That works.

Hi,

Im facing same issue. Revert to previous version solve the issue for temporary workaround.

Let me know if it is not feasbile.

[Cavallini]

For go back to 22.1 solve the issue

I'm having the same issue and this is a problem for me and my customer and my new design. Intel released the v23.1 and it is supposed to work. The ALTPLL is a basic ip block that's critical to my design. I'd like to continue using v23.1.  Not to mention that I spent countless hours trying to figure out why a block I've used before in other versions would crash. I figured my code had a bug, but it was the new Quartus Prime v23.1.

Please see if Intel can fix the bug instead of telling all users using the latest release that use the ALTPLL IP to downgrade to an older version of Quartus. 

Honestly, that sucks and it isn't fair to the users that expect the latest release to work. I understand that bugs may happen from time to time and I accept that. What I can't accept is that Intel won't promise to fix it and to do so in a timely manner.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Any status on this?  Need the new version due to NIOS-V IP needed.

[tcmichals_home]

Any updates?

[argraur1]

I've found a temporary workaround for this:
1. Download Quartus Prime Lite 22.1

2. Navigate to C:/intelFPGA_lite/22.1std

3. Locate following files:

quartus/bin64/cbx_altpll.dll
quartus/bin64/cbx_altpll_avalon.dll
quartus/bin64/cbx_altpll_reconfig.dll
quartus/bin64/cbx_altpll_reconfig_avalon.dll
quartus/bin64/cbx_max10_altpll_avalon.dll
quartus/bin64/mega_altpll_reconfigq.exe
quartus/bin64/mega_altpllq.exe
quartus/bin64/mmdl_altpll.dll
quartus/bin64/pdbmin/altpll_a.pdb
quartus/bin64/pdbmin/cbx_altpll.pdb
quartus/bin64/pdbmin/cbx_altpll_avalon.pdb
quartus/bin64/pdbmin/cbx_altpll_reconfig.pdb
quartus/bin64/pdbmin/cbx_altpll_reconfig_avalon.pdb
quartus/bin64/pdbmin/cbx_max10_altpll_avalon.pdb
quartus/bin64/pdbmin/mega_altpll_reconfigq.pdb
quartus/bin64/pdbmin/mega_altpllq.pdb
quartus/bin64/pdbmin/mmdl_altpll.pdb

4. Copy them over to C:/intelFPGA_lite/23.1std/quartus/bin64

5. Replace any occurences

6. Open Quartus Prime Lite 23.1 as usual

This worked for me and ALTPLL IP MegaWizard now doesn't crash in 23.1, I'm NOT sure this doesn't break anything, but ALTPLL IP Module generates correctly. Please backup original files of 23.1std before proceeding.

[dvirc]

Thank you it worked! (QP Lite 23.1 Win11Pro)

Still when clicking finish it crashes and wont add ALTPLL to the system

[Falcon_MP]

I'm having the same issue. Converted a project from Quartus 22.1 to 23.1 and now the Megawizard crashes every time i want to edit the output clocks of the ALTPLL ip.

[sorinache]

This issue is still persisting using 23.1 lite on windows 11

[boingbumtschak]

Freshly installed Quartus Prime Version 23.1std.0 Build 991 11/28/2023 SC Lite edition on Windows 11 and I am having the same issue.

Feedback from intel would be appreciated regarding that this problem was first reported half a year ago.

Thanks

[dvirc]

Its frustrating but I was able to solve this when used 64bit binaries from previous version of QP - I used the suggested solution above. Hope you solve it until they provide support on the next version...

[boingbumtschak]

Yes, solution above solved it indeed. Thank you
