[IP_Compiler for PCIe__Cyclone IV GX] How to start the chaining_dma example

Hi everyone,

I want to use the IP Block IP_Compiler for PCIe, for a FPGA Cyclone 4 GX. Firstly, I want to test that IP block via the automatically generated example chaining_DMA.

I installed Quartus Prime 18.1.0.625 Edition lite (the free one). I generated the IP block via the Megawizard.

I installed and opened Modelsim starter edition 2020.1.

I followed the indication in the starter guide, section 2-12 (page 28 / 372).

But after typing the command runtb.do, I got the error "Error loading design" that blocked the simulation.

Compilation happened successfully with 25 warnings, minor I think : (vcom-1236) Shared variables must be of a protected type.

Has anyone an idea on what to do? Who successfully reached the output of Example 2-1 of the User guide by following the indications of that User guide?

That document is available here:

Thank you in advance for your assistance
