Error: missing operand at _@_ in expressin "_@_/1000.0"

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

The error may be seen in the Quartus® II software version 10.0 during Analysis & Synthesis when your design contains "QDR II and QDR II SRAM Controller with UniPHY" MegaCore®, targeting HardCopy® IV device.

To workaround, modify <variation name>_timing.tcl with the following steps:

  1. Locate the following code in <variation name>_timing.tcl.
        set SSN(pushout_o) [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSO -parameters [list IO DQDQSABSOLUTE NONLEVELED MAX] -in_fitter]/1000.0]
        set SSN(pullin_o)  [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSO -parameters [list IO DQDQSABSOLUTE NONLEVELED MIN] -in_fitter]/-1000.0]
        set SSN(pushout_i) [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSI -parameters [list IO DQDQSABSOLUTE NONLEVELED MAX] -in_fitter]/1000.0]
        set SSN(pullin_i)  [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSI -parameters [list IO DQDQSABSOLUTE NONLEVELED MIN] -in_fitter]/-1000.0]
        set SSN(rel_pushout_o) [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSO -parameters [list IO DQDQSRELATIVE NONLEVELED MAX] -in_fitter]/1000.0]
        set SSN(rel_pullin_o)  [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSO -parameters [list IO DQDQSRELATIVE NONLEVELED MIN] -in_fitter]/-1000.0]
        set SSN(rel_pushout_i) [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSI -parameters [list IO DQDQSRELATIVE NONLEVELED MAX] -in_fitter]/1000.0]
        set SSN(rel_pullin_i)  [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSI -parameters [list IO DQDQSRELATIVE NONLEVELED MIN] -in_fitter]/-1000.0]
  2. Modify the above codes as follows:
    if { $::TimeQuestInfo(nameofexecutable) eq "quartus_map" } {
        set SSN(pushout_o) 0.0
        set SSN(pullin_o)  0.0
        set SSN(pushout_i) 0.0
        set SSN(pullin_i)  0.0
        set SSN(rel_pushout_o) 0.0
        set SSN(rel_pullin_o)  0.0
        set SSN(rel_pushout_i) 0.0
        set SSN(rel_pullin_i)  0.0
    } else {
        set SSN(pushout_o) [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSO -parameters [list IO DQDQSABSOLUTE NONLEVELED MAX] -in_fitter]/1000.0]
        set SSN(pullin_o)  [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSO -parameters [list IO DQDQSABSOLUTE NONLEVELED MIN] -in_fitter]/-1000.0]
        set SSN(pushout_i) [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSI -parameters [list IO DQDQSABSOLUTE NONLEVELED MAX] -in_fitter]/1000.0]
        set SSN(pullin_i)  [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSI -parameters [list IO DQDQSABSOLUTE NONLEVELED MIN] -in_fitter]/-1000.0]
        set SSN(rel_pushout_o) [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSO -parameters [list IO DQDQSRELATIVE NONLEVELED MAX] -in_fitter]/1000.0]
        set SSN(rel_pullin_o)  [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSO -parameters [list IO DQDQSRELATIVE NONLEVELED MIN] -in_fitter]/-1000.0]
        set SSN(rel_pushout_i) [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSI -parameters [list IO DQDQSRELATIVE NONLEVELED MAX] -in_fitter]/1000.0]
        set SSN(rel_pullin_i)  [expr [get_micro_node_delay -micro SSI -parameters [list IO DQDQSRELATIVE NONLEVELED MIN] -in_fitter]/-1000.0]
    }

This issue is fixed in the Quartus II software version 10.0SP1.
