Re: Segfault while creating altpllpll - SOPC/Quartus II 9.1sp1 on Linux

Altera_Forum · ‎02-17-2010

Hi,

I'm trying to generate the de0 reference design (by terasic - http://www.terasic.com/downloads/cd-rom/de0/de0_v.1.1_cdrom.zip - DE0_NIOS_SDCARD) however when I click generate in the SOPC Builder it complains

"Can't find file <PATH>/altpllpll.qpf"

and opens up the Quartus MegaWizard Plugin Manager

which reports

"Error: Unknown short option -s. Refer to --help for legal options"

When I close the MegaWizard Plugin Manager I see the following segfault in the generation log:

#  2010.02.17 13:26:31 (*) Running Generator Program for pll

Anything I can do about this?

I'm running Quartus on a 64-bit Gentoo - Kernel 2.6.27.

Quartus II v.9.1 SP1

Environment:

QUARTUS_ROOTDIR=/opt/altera9.1sp1/quartus/

Would be great if someone could help me to fix this issue!

Thanks,

Pete

Pete,

Just saw your post; I suspect it is related to mine (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20885). Did you ever get any joy? I've just submitted an SR (10748663).
