Why does the Arria®10 PCI Express BFM fail when using the Aldec simulator (Riviera Pro)?

Description

Due to a problem with the file altpcietb_bfm_rp_gen3_x8.sv, you will see compilation errors when simulating with the Aldec Riviera Pro™ simulator.

Resolution

To work around this problem, edit the file altpcietb_bfm_rp_gen3_x8.sv so that  "import altera_xcvr_functions_sv_bfm::*;" is located after the module declaration, as shown below:

 

module sv_xcvr_plls #(

  parameter plls                       =1,           // number of PLLs

 

...

 

);

import altera_xcvr_functions_sv_bfm::*;

 

This problem is not currently scheduled to be fixed in a future Quartus® Prime Software release.
