Description
This error occurs when you generate the 10GbE MAC Intel® FPGA IP and if you have installed the Quartus® II software with only a limited set of devices. For example, only Stratix® IV GX device support has been installed.
Resolution
To work around this error, you can simply re-install the Quartus II software ensuring that all device famlies are installed. Then, regenerate the 10GbE MAC Intel® FPGA IP.
This problem is fixed in the Quartus II software v16.1.
