.qip and .sip generated files manually added to project . On compile entities in .qip not found. Before I start cutting and pasting modules into existing.v files, what's proper way to incorporate these PLLs? Details of transcript warnings below.

    "Entity does not exist in design" indicates that you added the IP files to the project but didn't instantiate the PLL in your actual design. Did you instantiate the PLL in your RTL code?

    Have built msim_setup.tcl with command lines in sopc_builder with ip-make-simscrpt. Can't find procedures to get these files to incorporate appropriate PLLs in "work" directory with HDL ... getting "failed to run ip-make-simscript" invoking modelsim from quartus...

    Hi Len, Have you tried the solution provided in previous post? which quartus edition & version are you using? As suggested in previous post, try to instantiate the IPpll(entity/module) from IPpll.v or IPpll.vhd file in top level design file & then compile. Please let me know if you have any concern. Regards, Vikas

    Hi Vikas, Working on previous solution, not running yet. From IP Platform, I have generated one input ref clock and 5 PLL output clocks. I can compile with the generated “IPpll.v” instantiated in my top level ----.v file, ; there are 2 more generated ,” ipPLL_002.v” and “ipPLL_inst.v”. If I instatiate a line in top level entity “ipPLL ipPLL_inst”, it will compile. Still cannot invoke ModelSim from Quartus : “Internal error: Failed to run ip-make-simscript: <some unrecognized swirches>….” I have command-line run the ip-make-simscript and included the msim_setup.tcl file in project.

    Hi Vikas, Yes, path set in EDA Tool Options, it has connected before, just not with iP files in project. Some detailed clear instructions on getting iP into the design and simulating would be helpful. Len

    Using Quartus Prime Standard—are steps the same?

    Please point me to steps to take to get IP instantiated, compiled, and run in simulator. As you see, the Quartus Prime Standard has no “Generate Simulator Setup Script” tool. Thank you. Len Cardillo eMagin [cid:image001.png@01D4BEB5.A7D9E4E0]
