Problem with PCI compiler in QuartusII v11.0

Altera_Forum · ‎08-15-2011

Hi everyone.

I've got a strange problem. I want to add a PCI Compiler in my Qsys system (QuartusII v11.0) but I can't find it. In QuartusII v9.0 in SOPC it was located in Interface Protocols/PCI category.

I checked XML file altera_components.ipx and found this entry:

<component

name="altera_avalon_pci_compiler"

file="pci_compiler/lib/ip_toolbench/pci_megacore.jar"

displayName="PCI Compiler"

version="11.0"

description="Altera PCI Megacore"

tags="AUTHORSHIP=Altera Corporation /// CONNECTION_TYPES=avalon"

categories="Interface Protocols/PCI"

factory="JarFactory" />

So I think this is some kind of bug in QuartusII v11.0. Does anybody know something about workaround of this issue?

I think it's the one in the Mega function wizard not in the components tab.

I found the solution to my problem.

PCI compiler core was located in Interface Protocols/PCI category in sopc builder not in Qsys. So I created SOPC system with PCI core, saved it and then opened it in Qsys.

This method is kind of clumsy but it works)

It should be there...

Check this out

in the Qsys Component Library pain,

Interface Protocols -> PCI -> IP_Compiler for PCI Express

I was talking about PCI compiler. PCI express is different animal )
