    Hi,


    Seems like some IPs are only available for Stratix 10. If that's the case you may skip steps 3 and 4, straight away go to step 5 manually compare, modify and merge the files mentor/msim_setup.tcl, common/modelsim_files.tcl and common/ncsim_files.tcl between Arria 10 project and Stratix 10 project.


    Thanks,

    Regards,

    Sheng

I tried your proposed solution and it fails in step #3.

After adding the Stratix files into the Arria project I ran the IP upgrade tool and it fails.
