Quartus RTL Viewer crashes

Altera_Forum · ‎08-10-2016

I'm using Quartus II v13.1 for an existing project and wanted to check my design with RTL viewer after I made some modifications.

Unfortunately, Quartus II systematically crashes with the following error message.

Any advice?

thanks

You'll have to raise a ticket with altera my support. But is there any reason you're not using a newer version? Q13 is v unlikely to get a fix

Just because Altera usually recommended not to upgrade while in the middle of a development process.

This project has been started couples years ago but is still under development.

Our intend is to switch to a newer version to be able to use newer devices (such as Max10), but we first need to complete this project based on Cyclone IV.

Thanks anyway for your feedback.

If you're a big enough customer (ie, you buy enough chips) and the problem is going to block of lot of chip sales, you may get a special Quartus Build. But other than that, you're going to have to contact them

They may be able to tell you what the problem is anyway, and give you a work around..

Unfortunately I'm not :(

However I found a workaround by simply not trying to open the top level but go down in the hierarchy and then double click on the item I want to check...

Thanks again for your feedback
