Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro edition software version 19.4, you may see the above error when using VQM netlist as source for the compilation in Intel® Stratix® 10 Devices.
The Intel Quartus Prime Pro edition software version 19.4 does not support "WYSIWYG primitives " resynthesis. If a VQM File contains WYSIWYG primitives, the Intel Quartus Prime Compiler creates atom representations from those WYSIWYG primitives as it synthesizes the design, so that the atoms preserve the WYSIWYG structure of the netlist file.
