Question

i built a PHY for the cyclone10GX. I now want to connect the LL 10G MAC to it, and as test now trying to run the alt_em_10g32_EXAMPLE_DESIGN generated by QUARTUS version 18.0.0 build 219 04/24/2018 SJ Pro Edition with Cyclone10GX libraries. Modelsim version starter edition 10.6C, revision 2017.07.I managed to get the msim_setup.tcl script running, until i face the following issue : when it compiles avalon_driver.sv, in line 66 it wants to import avalon_mm_pkg, but this file does not exist.Modelsim reports (after compiling a lot of cyclone stuff)# Top level modules:

How do I edit my own question?I found an avalon_mm_pkg.sv. I added avalon_mm_pkg.sv to EXAMPLE/simulation/ed_sim/models, where the other verilog code is located. (avalon_various.sv, eth_various.sv, default_test_params_pkg.sv and tb_top.sv)I added in tb_top.sv line 22  `include "avalon_mm_pkg.sv".

Hi Pieter, Apologize for idle for a while, has the issue solved? Do you need my help with your inquiry?

Hi,
I was facing the similar problem and here is the solution -
1. Add avalon_mm_pkg.sv and verbosity_pkg.sv in the model folder where tb_top.sv is located.
2. Compile the verbosity_pkg.sv using the command "vlog -reportprogress 300 -sv "+incdir+../../models" ../../models/verbosity_pkg.sv" .
3. Now compile avalon_mm_pkg.sv using "vlog -reportprogress 300 -sv "+incdir+../../models" ../../models/avalon_mm_pkg.sv" .
4. Compile the tb_top.sv file " vlog -reportprogress 300 -sv "+incdir+../../models" ../../models/tb_top.sv".
5. Now try running again using ld_debug.

Foe me it solved using these steps. I was using Questa (Quartus prime 22.2).

Thank you
