how to simulate NIOS II generated in Qsys_Pro v17.0

Hi,

I'm using Quartu_Prim_Pro v17.0, I use QsysPro to generate a NIOS II system and testbench, when I try to run simulation using cadence NCSIM, I found the NIOS cpu model is encrypted and not able to generate any waveform on NIOS core output ports.

I was using Quartus II v13.1, the NIOS simulation model did not have such problem.

Did I miss anything?

Any comment is welcome.

Thanks.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the kind support.

    Now I'm able to run the simulation with NIOS FW in ncsim.

    In Qsys v13.1 there is no "Generate Testbench System", but in Qsys v17 I need to "Generate Testbench System".

    I was running ncsim_setup.sh which was generated by "Generate HDL", in fact I need to run the one created by "Generate Testbench System".
