'$do_transaction' is not defined when simulating with JTAG to Avalon Master Bridge

Hi,

I'm encountering a problem while trying to simulate a qsys generated testbench. The design includes a JTAG to

Avalon Master Bridge. My plan was to use the system console to perform reads and writes to various Avalon MM

slaves, as there is no Nios processor in my design. When I run the following script to set up my simulation, I get a

warning related to an undefined PLI reference. Note that I have not touched the msim_setup.tcl script.

set system_name daq_system

set QSYS_SIMDIR ../$system_name/testbench

set TOP_LEVEL_NAME tb

source $QSYS_SIMDIR/mentor/msim_setup.tcl

dev_com

vlog -sv simple_tp.sv -L altera_common_sv_packages

vlog -sv tb.sv -L altera_common_sv_packages

Here is the warning:# ** Warning: (vsim-PLI-3003) ../daq_system/testbench/daq_system_tb/simulation/submodules/altera_avalon_st_jtag_interface.v(162): [TOFD] - System task or function '$do_transaction' is not defined.# Time: 0 ps Iteration: 0 Region: /tb/dut/daq_system_inst/master_jtag/jtag_phy_embedded_in_jtag_master/pli_mode File: ../daq_system/testbench/daq_system_tb/simulation/submodules/altera_avalon_st_jtag_interface.v

The msim_setup.tcl script contains the following piece of code:# Initialize simulation properties - DO NOT MODIFY!

set ELAB_OPTIONS ""

set SIM_OPTIONS ""

if ![ string match "*-64 vsim*" [ vsim -version ] ] {

} else {

append ELAB_OPTIONS " -pli $QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR/linux64/libsld_sysconsim.so"

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "$QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR/linux64"

}

As best I can tell, $do_transaction is defined in the library libsld_sysconsim.so. However,

my Quartus install only has a 64 bit version of this library.

$ locate libsld_syscon

/opt/altera/quartus_lite-15.1/quartus/linux64/libsld_sysconsim.so

Since Modelsim ASE is a 32 bit application, I don't understand how this can be made to work

without a 32 bit version of libsld_sysconsim.so. What am I missing?

Here is my environment:

Quartus Prime Version 15.1.1 Build 189 12/02/2015 SJ Lite Edition

ModelSim ALTERA STARTER EDITION 10.4b Revision: 2015.05 Date: May 27 2015
