ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA Edition Software - Simulation Error

Hi,

I am trying to simulate some part of the project s10_ref BSP for some openCL application. The project is in platform designer format so to simulate the project I have generated the vhdl codes of the ip files in the platform designer. The project contains two ddr4 memory. When I try to simulate the project modelsim says fourteennm_iossm module (which is instantiated in a file generated automatically by platform designer for ddr4 memory) not found. So I searched the quartus installition directory and find that module in the library folder containing altera starter edition library files (the location of the file is "Local Disk (C:) / intelFPGA_pro / 20.4 / modelsim_ase / altera / verilog / src / fourteennm_atoms.sv" ).This file is fourteennm_atoms.sv. However, when I do that modelsim now says fourteen_iossm_mchip_encrypted module cannot be found which is instatiated in fourteennm_iossm module contained in fourteennm_atoms.vs.

Note: When I add project files to modelsim and compile them, all of them are compiled successfully. However, when I click on the Start Simulation it says instantiation of fourteennm_iossm failed.

I haven't add anything special to the project. I have used the same structure as you did in s10_ref BSP project, but I have taken some part of the project which I do not need to simulate.

I have tried to tell all of the story in detail.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi,

I have a licence, and I am using modelsim altera starter edition.

Hi,

The original project file is at the link given below under Windows BSP. I have modified some parts of it so that I can make tests on that. The project is generated using platform designer, so to make a test on modelsim I have generated vhdl files for the ips using platform designer.

I have a Intel Quartus Pro licence. However, I am using modelsim altera starter edition. Is it possible that this causes the issue? Do I have to use modelsim altera edition instead of altera starter edition? When I clicked on the modelsim altera edition it says the following error?

When I try simulate using msim_setup.tcl, it gives some other errors. However, the previous "module not found" errors are removed. So, you can close it.
