Did I need to set a proper pin assignment if I running a simulation ?

I am trying to run a design example simulation for AGIB027R29A1E2VR3, F-tile.
Quartus version v23.3 , Questasim 2023-2.

But the target devkit with proper pin selection only available for F-series devkit - non I-series devkit. If I select F-series devkit, the simulation run well.

While I select "NONE" as my device is targeted AGIB027R29A1E2VR3, the simulation fail in "ld_debug".

Question -

  1. Did I need to set a proper pin assignment if I running a simulation ?
  2. If the answer is YES in first question, Can I use the .qsf pin mapping from F-series F-tile and plug directly I-series F-tile ?

    Hi,

    For running simulation, pin assignment is not required, but you may need to run synthesis.

    Using your environment I am able to run the simulation passing the ld_debug.

    Please check back the step, Normally the fail will occurs if your host is out of memory, the full simulation of "run -all" normally took few GBs on the memory space, I suggest to try clear the memory before re-run

    I try , no2 where I use the .qsf from F-series F-tile , plug in to I-series F-tile.
    BUT the compilation fail . appreciate if someone can help to advise
