PCI-E gen3 HIP simulation

Hi 

 

I am having some trouble while simulating the PCI-E gen3 design. As mentioned in the User guide. 

 

1. I ran modelsim 

2. source msim_setup.tcl 

3. ld 

 

while compiling the files modelsim shows the following errors: 

1. faild to open info file "/_info" in read mode 

2. Module 'stratix_hssi_gen3_pcie_hip' is not defined 

 

I generated pcie files using Quartus 12 and i am using modelsim 10.1 

 

Thanks

I believe you have to use Q12.0sp1 

Q12.0 still doesn't have BFM in.

I am also facing the same problem with Quartus 12.0 sp1. 

For the ip generated through megawizard for verilog, I ran vsim in the <ep>_sim/mentor directory 

 

source msim_setup.tcl in vsim 

ld_debug 

 

and I see simulation exiting with errors like 

instantiation of stratixiv_hssi_gen3_tx_pcs_encrypted failed. The design unit was not found. 

 

where can find this module? 

 

 

Alternately, I generated vhdl version of the PCIe core gen 3 and executing the same command ld_debug yielded this error. 

 

Fatal error in a protected context. 

Time 0 ps Iteration Protected: /ep_g3_x8_avl_256_a_s5_inst/<protected> File: nofile 

FATAL ERROR while loading design 

 

Any ideas/solutions about VHDL simulation failure would be highly appreciated. 

 

Thanks,
