New ContributorHey Igor,
It will still be possible to simulate the HPS however, you will need to reach out to Seimens for the AXI3 license now, as we no longer provide it. The other alternative would be to refactor your simulation model to use a different bus that doesn't require a license.
Kind Regards,
Liam
Occasional ContributorHello, Liam.
I'm encountering a challenge with Quartus-generated model HPS, regardless of the bus type (including simple Avalon buses, see attached simple project. Just run TB.bat in the TB directory). These models seem to have a dependency on a specific Mentor Graphics DLL that requires a missing license feature. Unfortunately, Intel's decision to remove this license feature has created a roadblock.
I've been in touch with my Siemens representative, and after investigating, they confirmed that Siemens discontinued support for this specific product in 2015. While they offer a newer bundle for bus testing, it doesn't replace the deprecated "mgcvipaeaxi" license. This legacy product was designed specifically for Intel-based FPGAs. Their newer bundle, though expensive (around $3,000), wouldn't be a suitable solution due to its incompatibility.
Given the limitations this dependency creates for my verification process and project deadline, I kindly ask for your assistance. Would it be possible for your team to explore the possibility of internally generating this missing feature ("mgcvipaeaxi")?
Your support would be greatly appreciated and allow me to successfully complete this project for my customer.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Igor.
