Is it possible to simulate with the ModelSim Altera Edition (free) the On-Chip Flash Intel FPGA IP? I am able to simulate with questa-sim at my work place, but I get an error (below) when trying to simulate at home with the free version.

I'm using Quartus Prime Lite Edition 18.1 with the On-Chip Flash Intel FPGA IP. When I use the Tools/Run Simulation Tool/RTL Simulation I get an error: "# ** Error: (vsim-3033) C:/DigitalAir/CCIOEXP...

Hi,

I have followed steps. can't see any error.

Attached transcript & image.

If you still facing problem manually launch modelsim and load msim_setup.tcl.

Regards

Anand

Hey Anand, OK, I fixed the first problem. For some reason, my Modelsim doesn't have fiftyfivenm_ver compiled in. So I added the following to my simulation script. vlib testfpga_iputf_libs/fiftyfivenm_ver vmap fiftyfivenm_ver ./testfpga_iputf_libs/fiftyfivenm_ver vlog -vlog01compat -work fiftyfivenm_ver {c:/intelFPGA_lite/18.1/quartus/eda/sim_lib/fiftyfivenm_atoms.v} vlog -vlog01compat -work fiftyfivenm_ver {c:/intelFPGA_lite/18.1/quartus/eda/sim_lib/mentor/fiftyfivenm_atoms_ncrypt.v} That fixed that problem. Now I'm back to the other problem: # ** Error: (vsim-3033) C:/testfpga/flash_ip/synthesis/submodules/altera_onchip_flash.v(309): Instantiation of 'altera_onchip_flash_block' failed. The design unit was not found." My transcript is attached.
