Occasional ContributorUnable to use Avalon-MM master verification BFM in Questa sim
Hello,
I have a bug similar to the one reported here :

Unable to use Avalon-MM master verification BFM in Questa sim - Intel Community
The Problem still exists in Questa 25.1 when using the "-suppress 12110" option it gives this warning:
# ** Error (suppressible): (vsim-12110) All optimizations are disabled because the -novopt option is in effect. This will cause your simulation to run very slowly. If you are using this switch to preserve visibility for Debug or PLI features, please see the User's Manual section on Preserving Object Visibility with vopt. -novopt option is now deprecated and will be removed in future releases.
Without using the "-suppress 12110" and the "-novopt" option all the Avalon BFM models won't work in Questa. Everything is running fine with modelsim.
Are there any plans on fixing this issue?
best regards
Fabian

FabianLJust to be clear. The problem is not (or not alone) that Questa does not support the -novopt option.
The problem is, that all Avalon BFM do not work with -vopt option. This makes Avalon BFMs unuseable with Questa.

Just to let you that when we debug this issue with Siemen/Mentor, we found out that this problem does not exist in the command line but only on GUI. They are looking ways to fix this.

As we transition to a new platform, this thread will be closed. Please wait for the new platform to become available and repost your question there. In the meantime, I will continue to follow up with Siemens regarding the fix for you.
