Cyclone V and simulation of ASMI Parallel

Hello everyone, 

 

I am trying to simulate ASMI Parallel IP with no obvious success. I really need this block to get access to the external FLASH device. To get familiar with this IP, I decided to use its simplest (IMO) function: "bulk_erase". It would be very easy to validate in hardware and should be simple to implement and simulate. So, I went though the process of creating ASMI Parallel using QSYS and then added the .qsys file to my test project. It compiles fine, but for some reason the Model-Sim gives me all these errors:

I know people has done this before, but I was not able to find any examples on-line on how to do that. The attached is a test project with a state machine and a test bench. I would really appreciate if someone would help me to figure this out and get going with the project. 

 

Thanks, 

Yev

Hi ymakisme, 

 

I face a similar problem when I try to simulate a code where I just read the memory capacity ID of the EPCQ128 using Altera ASMI parallel IP core.  

I get 1 error:  

Unresolved defparam reference to 'sd4' in sd4.enable_sim. 

 

Did you solve your problem? If yes, please specify what changes you made. It'll be really helpful for me. 

 

Thankyou.

Hi , 

I raised a SR in Altera and this problem is because of version compatability. Make sure the simulation tool you use has the libraries of the Quartus version that you used to generate the IP.
