Quartus Fitter Crashing

[mikeyl]

Hi, I'm looking to get some help to get my Quartus to work for my digital logic/comp org class. Its been giving me quite a headache. Currently I have the M1 Pro Macbook and I need to run Quartus using a Parallel Boot/VM. I'm able to install Quaratus and compile it however I run into an error while fitting. Is there anything I can do to fix this error. Thank you!

The first step for Quartus crashing is to always delete the db and incremental_db folders from your project directory, start Quartus again, and recompile from scratch.

[mikeyl]

Yup I've tried this. Still crashes. Quartus doesn't close, just a popup says software crashed unexpectedly

Hi,

Can you share your .qar file so I can reproduce your error? To do this, go to Project>Archive Project.

Thanks,

Nurina

Hi Nurina,

Just for some specifications, I'm currently using Windows 11 ARM on Parallel for Mac with M1 Pro. I've tried Quartus Prime Lite 21.0 and Quartus II and they both give the same issue. 

Thanks for your help,

Michael L.

Hi,

I tried compiling this on Quartus Lite 20.1.1 on my machine twice and both times I received different Internal Errors. However, I was able to compile this on Quartus Std 20.1. Are you able to migrate to Standard edition?

Regards,

Nurina

[mikeyl]

Hi Nurina,

Oh interesting. I think Standard edition is paid for, so I'm not exactly sure. But I'll try.

Thank you,

Hi everyone,

Have you find solution ? 

Thanks!

[mikeyl]

Nope not yet. Can't afford Quartus Standard Edition for just a single class.

[jmlarbaig]

I see ! We are now two in this case .. may be !! hahah

[sstrell]

It doesn't make sense why it would work on Standard but not on Lite.  What is your target device and are you using any special features, like design partitioning or other options, that might not be available in Lite?

[jmlarbaig]

I complety agree with you. I try to just open an old project and when the project open, the error appear. 

I try Standard and not lite and the device is DE0-Nano-SoC. No special feature is used

[mikeyl]

Mine is able to load and compile the first stage Analysis. My error appears on fitter. 

[Nurina]

I can't seem to reproduce the error. When I compile on Lite edition there are instances where I can compile successfully. But when I don't, I see different types of Internal Errors.

Do you constantly see the Internal Error posted above? Do you see "Internal Error: Sub-system: DYGR, File: /quartus/ddb/dygr/dygr_place_info.cpp, Line: 3270" every time you try to compile?

I am reporting this matter to engineering and will let you know of any updates.

Regards,

Nurina

[Nurina]

Hi,

Could you share your project in a zipped file? 

Thanks,

Nurina

[jmlarbaig]

I tried with the newest Quartus lite version and it worked. I think we need to update software. 

But there is few adaptation to do. For instance, install WSL for platform designer because, when the compilation procedure is working, there is some issues about that. 

[mikeyl]

Sorry for the late replay as I've been busy with school. I've tried installing WSL on my virtual machine. But I've been getting an error with Ubuntu 20.04. Should I try a different version? Just a note, the error also pops up during the fitter stage. 

[Nurina]

You could try the latest Lite version. Could you share a zipped file of your project?

Thanks,

Nurina

[Nurina]

@mikeyl , does the above comment help?

[q1]

@mikeyl , did you find a solution?  I'm in the exact same position as you.  Just bought a M1 mac and am trying to run Quartus Lite on Parallels
