[Quartus 17.0] Internal Error: Sub-system: CCLK, File: /quartus/periph/cclk/cclk_gen5_base.cpp, Line

Hello there,

I'm trying to add a second external clock source to a design implemented on a DE10-Standard Kit. I'd like to use the J14/HSMC_CLKIN0 pin as single-ended clock source actually, then use it as a PLL reference clock. It is the only PLL in the design I need to generate several frequencies (consuming a integer and a fractional PLL resource on the FPGA for the implementation).

If I add a pin to my BDF file the fitter crashes with this error:

I'm getting this annoying error regardless:

  • the actual pin I assign to the input clock source (tried some GPIO as well already...)
  • removing the PLL and using the pin to drive a simple test counter entity...
  • using a ALTCLKCTRL block (on auto)

No reference around. Hope you can help me sort it out...

Hi Luca,


Could you provide the design file for me to replicate the issue? You can attach it via private message/email feature there. Let me see it first, if it a bug from Quartus I can file a report for this.


Thanks,

Regards
