Why does the R-tile AXI Streaming IP for PCI Express* Example Design simulation testbench fail to compile in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 25.1?

Description

Due to a problem in the 25.1 and earlier versions of the R-Tile AXI Streaming IP for PCI Express*, the example design simulation testbench may fail compilation with the following error:

 

Error-[CFCILFBI] Cannot find cell in liblist

 ./../..//../../ip/pcie_ss_ed_sim_tb/dut_pcie_tb_ip/intel_rtile_pcie_tbed_100/sim/altpcietb_bfm_rp_gen5_x16_cfbp.sv, 3254

   Cell 'pcie_ed_sim_resetIP' cannot be found in liblist for binding instance

   'pcie_ss_ed_sim_tb.dut_pcie_tb.dut_pcie_tb.g_bfm.p_dut_ep.altpcietb_bfm_top_rp.g_bfm.u1.rp.inst.resetip'.

Resolution

To work around this problem, navigate to <generated_ed_path>/pcie_ss_ed_sim_tb/ip/pcie_ss_ed_sim_tb/dut_pcie_tb_ip/intel_rtile_pcie_tbed_100/sim/ and open the file altpcietb_bfm_rp_gen5_x16_cfbp.sv with a text editor.

 

Search for the keyword 'resetIP' for the line where the resetIP module was instantiated, and change the module name from pcie_ed_sim_resetIP to pcie_ss_ed_sim_resetIP.

 

Before:

 

After:

 

Save the file and re-run the simulation scripts.

 

This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software.
