Simulating a GPIO IP basic example.

Hi Intel Team,

I am new to the Quartus prime Pro software and am having some difficulty in creating a wave from simulation of a system I have designed via the platform designer tool. The TLDR is that I cannot simulate the IPs due to an error stating:

Error : <file path>: in protected region

To remove a lot of uncertainty and non required debug I have just created a new project with a single GPIO IP within to try to get that simulating via a test bench within Questa Sim.

I am utilising the "# Auto-generated simulation script msim_setup.tcl" from the top of the msim_setup.tcl as the do file.

Within the do file I am running the msim_setup.tcl which internally runs the modelsim_files.tcl

I then run "dev_com" then "com" to compile the EDA and IP simulation files.

I then declare the location of the test bench via a vcom -2008 <file path to test bench>. (Worth mentioning I have tried including all of the referenced GPIO synth and sim files too with no change).

set the test bench as the "TOP_LEVEL_NAME"

run the elab_debug to elaborate the test bench and design

I then attempt to run the simulation via a VSIM work.<TestNenchName>

I then receive the error:

Error : <file path>: in protected region

From what I can tell all of the required libraries have been compiled.

The line reference and file reference for the error are for the altera_gpio.sv

I have looked around the board and cannot seem to find a fix unfortunately.

Thanks in advance
