ipgenerate does not generate SPD files

I’ve been working on scripting the batch simulation of our project for quite a few days now and I cannot find a way to generate SPD files when I run the ipgenerate command. I’ve searched extensively and cannot find a solution from any user, on intel’s community or elsewhere. (The SPD files contain a list of files for simulation.)

I’m using these commands but the second command fails indicating that the SPD files do not exist – otherwise all the other files appear to be generated:

  • quartus_ipgenerate mcd4 --rev top --generate_project_ip_files --simulation=verilog --clear_ip_generation_dirs
  • /INTELFPGA_PRO_21.2/qsys/bin/ip-setup-simulation --quartus-project=mcd4 --simulator=RIVIERA

This is working when I do it manually from the Quartus GUI – i.e. generate IP, then generate the simulation setup files for RIVIERA.

    Hi,

    I tested the command line with no problem. SPD file is generated after running quartus_ipgenerate and there is no error with ip-setup-simulation. Could you test on the file attached? I use the following command:

    • quartus_ipgenerate --generate_project_ip_files --synthesis=verilog --simulation=verilog --clear_ip_generation_dirs .../generic_flash_access_project/top --rev top1
    • ip-setup-simulation --quartus-project=.../generic_flash_access_project/top --simulator=RIVIERA

    Or may be you can try to specify the project path and see.

    Best Regards,

    Sheng

    p/s: If any answer from community or Intel support are helpful, please feel free to mark as solution and give Kudos.

    Hi Sheng,

    Sorry for the delay, I did not receive any notificiation that there was a response to my issue.

    Your response is good news. However I tried using our quartus 21.2 and 22.1 versions a both failed to generate the SPD files.

    I will try your project. Please leave this thread open.

    Thank you!
