Recompiling FPGA with Quartus 6.1 tool

GNU Radio

I was trying to recompile the usrp_std.v just to try out the tools,
since we plan to

make future changes to the FPGA. However only Quartus II v6.1 is
available on

the Altera website. It compiles and synthesizes fine, but it ends up
with

15501 blocks of type logic cell which just won’t fit into the 12060
block EP1C12Q240C8N.

Is there a compile setting that needs to be set or something edited in
the source

to get the logic cell size down so it will fit into the USRP FPGA?

Thanks

Hi Jim,

This is news to me. Did you use our project file? If so, this sounds
like a regression in Quartus. Last time I built everything I used
Quartus 6.0sp1. I suggest sending email to somebody at Altera and
asking for a link to the earlier version.

I had no problem with nuilding a freshly-checked out version on Quartus
6.1. It came to 11,100 logic elements, 92% full.
