How to use Avalon-MM Master BFM?

Here's a quick solution to your error above:

Look in msim_setup.tcl and determine what library verbosity_pkg and avalon_mm_pkg are compiled into; in my case the code was compiled into both master_bfm and slave_bfm libraries (which correspond to the Qsys names I used in the example I am currently working on - your library name may be different).

Change the -L argument to vcom to match one of these libraries, and the packages will be resolved.

This is one of the "errors" in the Modelsim scripts created by Altera tools. The verification components should be compiled into a common library, eg., altera_verification_ip, not into multiple libraries that are based on the component names.

For example, if I compile using -L slave_bfm, then using the REQ_READ enumeration to the master API generates an error, since it resolves to an enumeration in the slave_bfm library ... argh! I'll edit msim_setup.tcl to create a common library and see if that helps ...

Update: I modified all the pointlessly named libraries in the msim_setup.tcl script to compile into the library "altera_verification" and then passed -L altera_verification to the compilation of the top-level testbench and to the simulation command, and now the data types in these packages resolve correctly.

I'll post code once I get my master/slave example completed.

Cheers,

Dave
