Hi ConnorSousa,
Thank you for submitting your question in Intel Community.
I'm Adzim, application engineer will assist you in this thread.
You can refer to Arria 10 simulation guidance flow to simulate the board simulation.

- I think you can take the value and use it to configure the EMIF IP.
- Timing closure can be done in the Quartus software.

Adzim,
I did follow the guide you posted. I am concerned that the Channel Loss Calculation Tool is unable to handle signals that did not pass timing during the Hyperlynx DDRx Batch process, but we are told that we should not expect our simulation software to close timing.
How am I able to tell how bad the failed Hyperlynx timing is? Surely the DDR4 IP cannot close any arbitrary timing violation, so what is the actual usable range?
I can simply remove the failed signals from the simulation data and run the Channel Loss tool, but am I potentially making some wrong assumptions in doing so. - hghuyho8 days ago

Hi,
I am trying to find documentation on how to use the Channel Loss Calculation Tool for Arria 10 DDR4 EMIF.
The "Arria 10 EMIF Simulation Guidance" link referenced above appears to be unavailable/redirected, and I cannot find the document on the current Altera website.
Could you please provide an updated link or any documentation related to the Channel Loss Calculation Tool?
Thanks.

Hi hghuyho
The link is broken. I will try to check if we can recover those information.
If you looking for downloading the tool, you can get it from EMIF Support page: https://www.altera.com/design/guidance/emif-support#board-design-and-simulation

Hi Adzim,
Thank you for your reply.
I have already downloaded the Channel Loss Calculation Tool from the EMIF Support page. I am actually looking for the documentation/user guide for the tool.
I would appreciate it if you could check whether the related documentation can also be recovered.
Regards,
