Error! Unknown INTENDED_DEVICE_FAMILY=Stratix IV during Arria 10 PCIe hip simulation

Hi gavin5342,

My apologies for the late reply.

Thank you for attaching the .ip file.

I have generated the simulation files from the .ip file given and run the simulation in Questa Intel FPGA Edition-64 2024.1. I can replicate the error messages that you observed.

Based on my findings, there are 7 instances that returned the comment of "# Error! Unknown INTENDED_DEVICE_FAMILY=Stratix IV.". This is reported because the INTENDED_DEVICE_FAMILY parameter was defined as Stratix IV, but it is not found in the IS_VALID_FAMILY function's list of device families.

So, when the code performs a check on this function using the parameter INTENDED_DEVICE_FAMILY for the 7 instances, the error message is reported. I think our IP design team will reuse some proven RTL for the next generation of devices. Hence, your observation is expected.

Additionally, with the message "# SUCCESS: Simulation stopped due to successful completion!", this indicates a successful simulation. Therefore, I think you can safely ignore the error comment.

I hope this addresses your question. Please let me know if you have any further inquiries.

Thanks.

Best Regards,
