Linux Quartus Pro Edition quits unexpectecly because of jspice model library

[Rutherther]

Hello, I am getting an error when compiling a design for Intel Cyclone 10 GX using Quartus Pro Edition on Linux. It crashes on Fitter > Place stage at 99 %.

I tried looking for a jspice model library, but found nothing that looked useful. Any idea what the problem could be?

I've installed the software using individual files, I have the base Quartus installed + Intel Cyclone GX and Intel Arria 10 device support. I've also installed questa, high level synthesis and Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL in the hopes of resolving the error. I was thinking that there may be a jspice library in one of these.

Internal error most of the time might be due to tool issue.

I need to check the issue, thus is it possible for you to attach the design in qar?

[Rutherther]

That's not a problem at all. The compilation crashes for every project in Quartus Prime Pro (without license, only Cyclone 10 GX support). So I am including a simple project that contains just an AND gate connected to two inputs and one output.

[SyafieqS]

Thanks. I am looking into this to replicate at my end.

[SyafieqS]

Hi Ruth,

I am not able to see the issue using the design.

Just for sanity check, can you reinstall Quartus?

Just to make sure everything is setup properly.

[SyafieqS]

Let me know if there is any update

[Rutherther]

Hi,

yes, I have an update from today. It took me a few days to download all of the components as I don't posses that fast internet connection and the files are large.

I have downloaded installation from tab called Multiple Files instead of Individual Files like last time, just to change something if there was a problem. After installation, it is working correctly.

So this has been solved. I am not sure whether the problem was in the individual files or just something went wrong in the installation process.

PS: When I install only Quartus with Cyclone 10 GX support, when compiling, I get an error and I have to install Aria 10 support to resolve it. This happened to me on two separate computers, once Windows and once Linux.

[SyafieqS]

Glad that had been resolved. Let me know if there is any other concern at your end.
