Missing DPI import function "dvc_axi4_initialise_SystemVerilog" while simulating axi4 bfm in VCS

Hi, I was doing simulation with Quartus generated AXI4 bfm in VCS. The script I used to run the simulation is generated by using the Quartus tool (version 23.4.0). While running the simulation, afte...

    Hi Dins,

    Attached the design example script file.

    Make sure line 14:

    export QUESTA_MVC_GCC_LIB=${MENTOR_VIP_AE}/common/questa_mvc_core/linux_x86_64_gcc-6.2.0_vcs

    Make sure included line 30:

    export LDFLAGS="-L ${QUESTA_MVC_GCC_LIB} -Wl,-rpath ${QUESTA_MVC_GCC_LIB} -laxi4_IN_SystemVerilog_VCS_full_DVC "

    and line 37-42:

    $MENTOR_VIP_AE/common/questa_mvc_svapi.svh \

    $MENTOR_VIP_AE/axi4/bfm/mgc_common_axi4.sv \

    $MENTOR_VIP_AE/axi4/bfm/mgc_axi4_monitor.sv \

Hi ShengN_Intel,

I didn't get any problem with simulating axi4 design example, and I have followed the same steps as per the document and even tried regenerating the IP as well but getting the same error. I have given the same library paths given in the design example in my design.
Trying all possible ways to fix this issue. Shall I need to define this function (dvc_axi4_initialise_SystemVerilog) anywhere?

Thanks, and regards,
Dins
