Failed to simulate DMA_Chaining example

[Altera_Forum]

Hi,  

Please help, i can't simulate my dma_chaining example in ModelSIM,  I run "do runtb.do" file and got the follwing message:    --- Quote Start ---   ** Error: (vsim-3033) ../../../pcie_small_core.v(746): Instantiation of 'altpcie_hip_pipen1b' failed. The design unit was not found. # Region: /pcie_small_chaining_testbench/ep/epmap/wrapper # Searched libraries:   --- Quote End ---   I don't know where the module altpcie_hip_pipen1b is.  Any work around/solution?  Jeff

'altpcie_hip_pipen1b' instantiates the Hard IP block for the PCIe core. It's usually located in the "pci_express_compiler-library" under your Quartus II project directory. 

 What version of Quartus II are you using? And is this a design from one of the Application Notes or did you create the design yourself? It sounds like the modelsim script didn't have all the files needed to be compiled.

This is the design generated when I create a pcie module from PCIe compiler wizard. 

I'm using QuartusII9.1SP2 these are the library the ModelSIM searched. C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\altera_mf # C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\220model # C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\sgate # C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\altgxb # C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\stratixiigx_hssi # C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\stratixiv_hssi # C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\stratixiv_pcie_hip # C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\arriaii_hssi # C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\arriaii_pcie_hip # C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\cycloneiv_hssi # C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\cycloneiv_pcie_hip # C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\hardcopyiv_hssi # C:\altera\91\modelsim_ase\altera\verilog\hardcopyiv_pcie_hip # D:\Work\IPProbe\PCIe\VerisimPCIe\pcie_small_examples\chaining_dma\testbench\work

Where should the simulation model for the HardIP block be?

Hi Jeff, 

 Did you ever figure out the solution to this? I am having a very similar problem. The simulation cant find the model for the Hard PCIe IP. It lists all the simulation libraries and then says it cant find it. Which library does it live in?  Thanks, -Greg

Compile this file during simulation.

Of course! Thank you. I think I was trying to use every other file except for this one.
