Unrecognized compilation error

[TaySpen]

I recently installed a fresh version of Quartus Prime Lite 18.1 on Linux. I have a Cyclone 10LP development kit and am trying to compile one of the example projects included. I have compiled the same project on a previous install so I know it works. No other warnings.

I am getting an error from the EDA Netlist Writer:

Error (20268): Functional simulation is off but it is the only supported netlist type for this device.

I have never modified any netlist types and haven't found any info online or looking through some Quartus manuals or through the software.

All suggestions and feedback are appreciated. Thanks

Update: I have continued searching and have found a documented list of a deeper explanation of all the error codes produced by the standard Quartus synthesis process. Error code 20268 is not listed.

Hi, I tried to replicate the issue & I observed same behavior for windows & Linux platform for Quartus 18.1 lite but It worked for Quartus 18.0 lite on both platform. Please,try to perform the 'EDA Netlist Writer' after deleting 'db' and 'Incremental_db' directory from project directory. Regards, Vikas

Vicky,

Thanks for the suggestion. I removed the db and incremental_db directories and attempted a recompile and received the same results.

I will try to roll back to 18.0 to see if it is an update issue.

Thanks,

** Update: The same program will compile as expected on v18.0. I will continue using v18.0 until I see something about it in a future release.
