BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Due to a problem in the Quartus® II Software version 14.1, Memory Initialization or Hexadecimal (Intel-Format) files are not generated when the  "Initialize memory content" option is enabled in the "Memory initialization" section for the On-chip Memory IP in Qsys designs targeting Arria® 10.

Resolution
