Simulation of system with custom component

Hi,

I am trying to debug my ip by simulating its behavior in full system via modelsim. My ip acts like a memory controller : receives read/write requests from processor and delivers them to on-chip memory. Problem is that when i try to simulate system with custom component , on-chip memory does not get initialized. I have already enabled manual selection of initialization file in qsys but it did not resolve the problem. Does anyone have an idea about what should i do?

Thanks

    Did modelsim give you a warning message about not being able to find the initialization file? If so, try copying the initialization file to the modelsim working directory and try again.

    You can also always fall back to the "mem load" command.

    Thanks for your answer , i solved problem by making my IP transparent to memory by setting property s0 bridgestomaster m0 in .tcl file.
