Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 20.2 and earlier, you may see the internal error mentioned above when you fully compile your design. This happens for the Windows* 10 only but not in Linux.
Additionally, you will also see a fitter error as shown below
The fitter cannot place 1 periphery component(s) due to conflicts with existing constraints ( 1 clock core fanout(s)).
This problem is fixed beginning with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 20.3 .
