Quartus Prime 17.1 with Intel HLS Compiler issues

Hi, I have installed MS Visual Studio 2010 and Quartus Prime 17.1 with Modelsim Intel FPGA Starter Edition 10.5b to my Windows 10 computer. I am trying to run counter example in hls. Here, the output when I run build.bat -test-fpga: 

C:\intelFPGA\17.1\hls\examples\counter>build.bat test-fpga
i++  -march=StratixV counter.cpp -o test-fpga.exe
test-fpga.exe : warning LNK4088: image being generated due to /FORCE option; image may not run
Run test-fpga.exe to execute the test.

Then, I try to simulate running test-fpga.exe it just prints "PASSED" nothing happens. What should be the problem?

Thanks.

    Hi,

    Counter.cpp have only two printf statement for the pass and fail condition, count values are not displayed.

    To see the count values introduce printf statement for seeing the count values at console.

    Example:
     for(unsigned int i=0; i < SIZE; ++i) {
    if (result != i) {
      printf("ERROR: Expected %u, found %u\n", i, result);
	pass = false;}
	  else{
	  printf("Expected %u, found %u\n", i, result);
    }
  }

    You can also run test-x86-64.exe to see the result after compilation using command build.bat test-x86-64

    Thank you for your response Anand. However, my point was when I ran the test-fpga.exe should not it start a simulation in modelsim?

    No,

    It should be manually done.

    Let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Hello,

    I am a beginner. I apologize for my ignorance, but could someone explain in detail the procedure to follow in order to simulate the counter in modelsim.

    I have compiled the component with: 

    build test-fpga

    and that created the project folder with the 4 subfolders (I have only changed the build.bat to compile for CycloneV)

    So now I have the .proj

    From here, can someone help me with step-by-step instructions on how to run simulation.

    I have tried several ways but with no success.

    Thank you

      I also use CyconeV. Do you meet the LNK4088 waring?​

    In build.bat file you need to add -gvhdl as a compiler option to i++.

    So it should be look like

    i++ -march="fpgafamily" -gvhdl counter.cpp -o test-fpga.exe

    Then build test-fpga and run test-fpga.exe. This will create a simulation file under verification folder.

    Finally, open the verification\vsim.wlf file with Modelsim.
