Cannot Read data from MAX10 UFM

Question

I am unable to read data from a MAX 10 UFM IP. I'm using the On-Chip Flash Intel FPGA IP, trying read only memory for sector 1, and initializing the data with 125 values with both the .mif file for synthesis and a .dat file for simulation. In simulation when I try to read from the UFM, all addresses give me XXXXXXX. At startup the values from the readdata value is 11111111, once I intiate a read it goes to 00000000 and once readdata_valid asserts the data updates to XXXXXXXX. I would appreciate any help on this!

Thank you!

Have you selected burst count after you assert the read signal?

You may follow the user guide available at link below for the steps to perform read operation:

I believe I am following the User Guide. avmm_burstcount is set at the same time avmm_read is asserted, I'll attach a waveform.

Is there any more feedback for this issue?

I also get the following warning messages throughout the simulation:

Hi,From the warning message, seems like the connection is not completed. It would be better if you could connect the IP and your testbench properly as per the user guide.Thank You.
