Error (suppressible): (vopt-14408)

[dsun01]

Dear Support/Expert, 

I am running An803 on quartus pro 21.3, after some upgrade and struggle, I can make the project compile, I have to use two dummy modules to replace the protected modules.  finally I get the following dump of the elab_debug.  the only error from the report is 

Error (suppressible): (vopt-14408) Intel Starter FPGA Edition recommended capacity is 5000 non-OEM instances. There are 13936 non OEM instances. Expect performance to be severely impacted.

How to suppress this error and make the vsim continue?

at the end of the report, it says  ** Note: (vsim-12126) Error and warning message counts have been restored: Errors=20, Warnings=110.

I only saw one error, why it claimed Errors = 20. 

please don't tell me I have to run it with quartus 17.1.  If it won't run with 21.3, I doubt it can run with 17.1.

Hi dsun01,

Try to add this one vsim -suppress 14408 to suppress error.
