  • DSP Builder for Intel® FPGAs Pro Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    You may receive the error message below when running a Simulink® simulation which includes the NCO Megacore® block using DSP Builder in an Arria® V design:

    Error in 'mdm/HDLImport' while executing C MEX S-function 'sGeneric', (mdlStart), at time 0.0. 

    Caused by: Unexpected (char*) exception from MEX file. String is:MLIB_UINTEGER::bit() called with illegal bit_position ..

    Resolution

    To workaround this issue in Quartus® II software version 13.0 SP1, please follow the steps below:

     1. Close DSP Builder (if there is one running)
     2. Copy the content of the appropriate attached compressed files to your DSP Builder bin64 directory
            (i.e. <13_0_sp1_install_dir>/quartus/dsp_builder/bin64)
     3. Re-start DSP Builder

            - alt_dspbuilder_mAltr_Pvo.mexw64
            - alt_dspbuilder_ParseVo.mexw64
            - SimgenExport.dll
           
    For Linux 64:
    13.0sp1_linux64.tar.gz
            - alt_dspbuilder_mAltr_PvoIp.mexa64
            - alt_dspbuilder_mAltr_Pvo.mexa64
            - alt_dspbuilder_ParseVo.mexa64
