Xcelium support for Agilex P-tile PCIe simulations

Hi there, I am creating a PCIe controller targeting Agilex F series device. Wanted to run the example design on Cadence Xcelium simulator. When I ran the generated script for Xcelium, I got the belo...

Hi,


If I understand your question correctly on below


Does this mean Xcelium is not fully supported for P-Tile or R-Tile Simulations? Will there be a fix in future? Btw. I am running Quartus 23.1 Pro.

>> if refer to the latest user guide of P-tile it is not supported Xcelium simulation at the moment. Please consider to user other that is supported.

>> For R-tile, if refer to the user guide, it support for specific device/board with listed OPN as what you shows to me.


Are you able to advise which device gets populated on this board? Is it based on customer request or part availability?

I also see that the AGI027 Agilex board may be populated with one of 2 devices(AGIB027R29A1E2VR3 or AGIB027R29A1E1VB)

>> I not understand your question, what do you mean by which device gets populated on this board ?


I believe Xcelium will be supported for that device/board as it matches the highlighted item/OPN in below screenshot.

>> Yes, your understanding is correct


Regards

Wei Chuan

Hi Wei,

Please see my responses marked [Binu]

Question: I also see that the AGI027 Agilex board may be populated with one of 2 devices(AGIB027R29A1E2VR3 or AGIB027R29A1E1VB)

>> I not understand your question, what do you mean by which device gets populated on this board ?

[Binu] I specifically asked this as the FPGA device mentioned in the link has 2 devices mentioned in Table2. The two devices are AGIB027R29A1E2VR3 or AGIB027R29A1E1VB. Table 1 only mentions one device AGIB027R29A1E2VR3. Please see link AGI027 eval kit and below screenshot for reference.

Question: I believe Xcelium will be supported for that device/board as it matches the highlighted item/OPN in below screenshot.

>> Yes, your understanding is correct

[Binu] Today I hit the same error when I tried generating R-Tile IP targeting AGIB027R29A1E2VR3 and ran the Xcelium simulation. I am using Quartus Pro 23.1 and the 23.1 document says this device is supported.

  • xmsim: *F,NOSNAP: Snapshot 'pcie_ed_tb.pcie_ed_tb' does not exist in the libraries.

Hope this clarifies my queries.

Thanks

Binu
