Dlim, thanks for looking into this further. I have to disagree with your assessment of Table 5 from the release notes. I believe it is referring to simulator support for launching the simulator from within Quartus. For example, going to tools/launch simulation library compiler. This makes sense since Cadence does not produce a Windows product.
But I am not trying to open Cadence from Quartus and it does not address the issue of the missing submodule files.
However when you look at the Triple-Speed Ethenet User guide v 19.4 page 171; both Cadence Xcelium and plain Cadence are listed as supported and it shows the files that should be produced. The Windows tool does produce those the files listed in table 111. However those files are useless without the submodule files that only the Linux version produces. So why would it produce some of the files but not all?
To summarize I still believe this is a bug. Since the Ethernet user guide shows Cadence as supported but the Windows version does not produce all the necessary files for this IP.
