Simulating ASMI Parallel II

Hello, To be able to test our FPGA-Design in total, I’d like to connect a flash model of the S25FL128S with the ASMI Parallel II Core. I’m using a Cyclone V, and Quartus Version 18.1 Lite. As fa...

Hi
Thanks for your answer. On the actual board I'm using the EPCQ-A device. But I'd like to simulate my code first. The point is: the ASMI Parallel II datasheet writes the following:
Uses the default EPCQ 1024 simulation model for simulation. If you are using a third-party flash device, refer to AN 720: Simulating the ASMI Block in Your Design to create a wrapper to connect the flash model with the ASMI Block.

I'd love to use the default simulation model of EPCQ 1024, but it does not seem to be included in the ASMI parallel II simulation model of Quartus 18.1 either. When I try to simulate without the third-party flash model and enable_sim set to TRUE, Modelsim is not capable of finding a valid cyclonev_asmiblock.
