built msim_setup.tcl in ip-make-simscrpt. Need procedure to get PLLs in "work" directory. Getting "failed to run ip-make-simscript" invoking modelsim from quartus.

    Hi,

    Can you please launch modelsim directly and try(instead of invoking from quartus ).

    I have to run -> ip-make-simscript --spd=<directory>/ pll1.spd --output-directory=<directory> --compile-to-work --use-relative-paths from command prompt to generate msim_setup.tcl

    and follow the steps given in msim_setup.tcl for simulation.

    1. set QSYS_SIMDIR <directory>/pllsim
    2. source $QSYS_SIMDIR/mentor/msim_setup.tcl

    Which loads the design without any error.

    Hi, Msim_setup.tcl run, followed instructions. Is …<directory> necessarily directory with top level entity? Do the ip generated files I have (IPpll.v, IPpll_inst.v, and IPpll_0002.v) have to be in project folder or just IPpll.qip? Without invoking ModelSim from Quartus, how doe a woek directory get populated? Len
