    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 \

Hi ShengN_Intel,

I have done the suggested changes. I haven't added monitor files before in my file list. While adding those files and paths as per the suggestion, the issue is fixed and able to run the simulation.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, and regards,
Dins
