InternalError: Sub-system: CUT, File: /quartus/db/cut/cut_lcell_util.cpp, Line: 7104

Can I please get some assistance with this

[geon_bluquette]

I replicated this problem with the attached project. Opening the project and trying to compile results in the same error.

Hi Jerry, 

Is possible if you could provide us your design file for me to replicate the issue? You can attach it via private message/email feature there.

Thanks,

Regards

Hi @SyafieqS, my company works with @geon_bluquette and he was able to replicate the issue on his end. Can you please  try his attached project. His attached project should be exactly what I tried.

Thanks.

@SyafieqS in the project that @geon_bluquette posted. I forgot there are some environment variables that I told him to set that I need to get rid of (I have a better way of doing it now) that causes some issues when you try to open that project.

I'll fix it and attach the project
