Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software, you may see this internal error.
Internal Error: Sub-system: QHD, File: /quartus/comp/qhd/qhd_database.cpp, Line: 465
no_dirty_hdb_option_pointer
This error occurs when logic lock regions are defined in the design and the nodes assigned to the logic lock region are specified with a wildcard (e.g. -to a|b|*, or a|b|*xyz).
To work around this problem, do not use wildcards to specify your logic lock regions. Instead explicitly specify all of the nodes.
This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Quartus Prime Pro Edition Software.
