Why are Hex files not generated when initialize memory content is enabled in my Aria 10 design?

Environment

  • Quartus® II Subscription Edition
  • 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

    To workaround this problem in the Quartus II Software version 14.1, follow the steps below:

    1) Disable the "Initialize memory content" check box in the Memory Initialization section for On-chip Memory in Qsys.
