    Hi David,

    I did some investigation and determined that Quartus 17.0 onwards don't allow test bench generation with critical hard blocks not connected. The reference design attached in AN708 was generated using Quartus 17.0 only. This Quartus version allows test bench generation with hip_pipe and hip_control conduit exported. My suggestion at the moment will be please revert back to Quartus 17.0 to use QYS feature to generate the test bench system.

    To encounter this, I have opened an internal case to resolve this; so the AN708 simulation and test bench generation are also validated to allow migration. Hope the related team will work on this.
    Please accept my apologies for the frustration you have faced. Hope this is clarified.

    Regards,

    Wincent_Intel

I copied the project into a different directory, the software generates same error message.

by the way, I can run other very complex simulation with Jesd204b and DDR4 with Nios2 core without any problem.

I am learning PCIe now, don't know why I have this problem.

Thank you for helping.

David

good news, after I change the owner of the directory, the original error disappeared.

bad news was that new errors appeared.

Error: can't read "intf_use_partner(pcie_rstn)": no such element in array
Error: Error: can't read "intf_use_partner(pcie_rstn)": no such element in array
Error: There were errors creating the testbench system.
