Possible Internal Error with Arria V or Cyclone V Designs Using Hard Memory Controller

Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

Critical Issue

Description

This problem affects DDR2 and DDR3, LPDDR2, QDR II, and RLDRAM II products.

An internal error can occur in designs targeting Arria V or Cyclone V devices and using a hard memory controller, when the MPFE, MMR, and SC clock inputs for the hard memory controller are not driven by a PLL or by a clock buffer.

Resolution

The workaround for this issue is to ensure that you drive the MPFE, MMR, and SC clock inputs through a PLL.

This issue will be fixed in a future version.
