Error:Top-level design entity “dcp_top” is undefined.

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    When using the Signal Tap logic analyzer remotely to debug an Accelerator Functional Unit (AFU) on an Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card (PAC) with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA, you may find the AFU project not synthesized. If you compile it using Intel® Quartus Prime Pro Edition software GUI, you may get the errors as below:

    Error:Top-level design entity “dcp_top” is undefined.
    Can’t elaborate top-level user hierarchy
    Flow failed
    Quartus Prime Synthesis was unsuccessful. 3 errors, 6 warnings.

    Resolution

    To work around this issue, you should change your project  revision from "afu_fit" to "afu_synth",  then you can use Signal Tap II Logic Analyzer to trigger on AFU signal events and capture traces of signals in your AFU design.
