How do I get cyclonev_hmc file to simulate Cyclone V hard controller?

I am using 18.1 free version of Quartus Prime. My design uses the Cyclone V hard controller. I was able to simulate the example design, then changed the MPFE port numbers and type to suit my design. ...

    I eventually found the module. It was located in an encrypted file, which is why I did not see it. FYI the Cyclone V msim_setup.tcl setup script for the hard memory controller was missing 3 files:

    "$QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR../modelsim_ase/altera/verilog/src/cyclonev_atoms.v"

    "$QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR../modelsim_ase/altera/verilog/src/cyclonev_atoms_ncrypt.v"

    "$QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR../modelsim_ase/altera/verilog/src/cyclonev_hmi_atoms_ncrypt.v"

    Ultimately got things working as described.

    Thanks, Craig

Hi, Component 'cyclonev_hmc' should be in one of the Libraries, my guess is you are missing one of the library in your simulation command. Since you are using Modelsim Intel Starter Edition (all the pre-compiled libraries are shipped with simulator), you just need to specify the library name in vsim command (-L cyclonev) please refer to the simulation command from the auto-generated simulation script for IP (msim_setup.tcl). Thanks, Arslan
