Description

Root port simulation fails using ModelSim versions 6.6c_1 for the Linux operating sytem (OS) or 6.6d for the Windows OS.

This issue affects root port example design simulations when using ModelSim 6.6c_1 for the Linux OS or 6.6d for the Windows OS in release 10.0 of the PCI Express Compiler.

Resolution

To prevent this failure, add the -noimmedca option to the vsim command in the runtb.do file.
