running AN708 on Quartus 17.0

Dear Intel Support/Expert, I am learning PCIe access DDR memory. the AN708 is a good example, I installed Quartus 17.0, and everything seemed very smooth. except the Simulation stopped due to Fata...

    Hi David,


    My apologies for late reply as my time is quite occupied these few days.

    Thanks for your patience and the follow-up question.


    Yes, the design is for hardware test rather than simulation test as mention in the user guide.

    If you want to run the simulation, my suggestion is you can try to refer to the Arria 10 User guide

    under section 2.1. Directory Structure and 2.4. Simulating the Design


    Let me know if there is anything else that I can help you.

    Regards,

    Wincent_Intel

Hi David,


Nice to see you back. Thanks for such detail sharing.

Mind me to ask do you just purely run in simulation ? or there is any hardware connected on it ?


There is few reason why this happen

1. Simulation time is not long enough to reach the simulation end.

2. This demo project is for hardware test rather than simulation test.

Could you please confirm back in this ?

Regards,

Hi Wchiah,

There is not any hardware, It purely Intel package, extract by Quartus 17.0.0.290. use platform designer open the .qsys and update the out-of-date IP. use the ModelSim - INTEL FPGA STARTER EDITION 10.5c, run the simulation.

it is not the run time problem, it is the PCIe link training no response from the DUT.

I guess the problem is this module, the output of this module

npor and pin_perst will be feed into the DUT, both of them are X.

top_inst_dut_npor_bfm_ip top_inst_dut_npor_bfm (
.sig_npor (top_inst_dut_npor_bfm_conduit_npor), // conduit.npor
.sig_pin_perst (top_inst_dut_npor_bfm_conduit_pin_perst) // .pin_perst
);

Thank you,

David
