5.4.4. Remove Unsupported Parameter Passing

Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition synthesis does not support parameter passing using set_parameter in the .qsf. Synthesis in other Quartus software products supports passing parameters with this method. Except for the top-level of the design where permitted, ensure that your RTL does not depend on this type of parameter passing.

From the Example RTL, synthesis overwrites the value of parameter SIZE in the instance of my_ram instantiated from entity mid-level. From the Example RTL, synthesis generates a syntax error for detection of parameter passing assignments in the .qsf. Specify parameters in the RTL. The following example shows the supported top-level parameter passing format. This example applies only to the top-level and sets a value of 4 to parameter N:
set_parameter -name N 4

Example RTL:

set_parameter –entity mid_level –to my_ram –name SIZE 16
