StratixV transceiver simulation

I concur that msim_setup.tcl is a horrible implementation. The fact that Altera compiles into library names based on component instances is an abomination. But alas, given that they're the only ones who know what source is needed, we're stuck with it.

What would be nice if Altera simply generated a Tcl list of files to compile ... perhaps a Tcl script to parse msim_setup.tcl is in order?

I'd recommend starting with a simple transceiver toolkit example, running the msim_setup.tcl for that design, and then iterating until you get it to synthesize and simulate cleanly. At that point you'll at least know you have a single working design.

The AlteraWiki has a few examples too.

Cheers,
