simulate an LVDS soft core IP

[AAlph]

Hi everyone

I'am trying to simulate the LVDS soft IP on MAX10 FPGA using modelsim-altera

it works fine with the receiver but when simuling the transmitter i get those errors

Loading fiftyfivenm.fiftyfivenm_ddio_out(behavior)

# ** Error: (vsim-3033) nofile(38): Instantiation of 'dffeas' failed. The design unit was not found.

Thanks for helping

Hi,

1. We have tried to simulate LVDS soft IP on MAX10 FPGA for both receiver and transmitter configuration with other setting being default which worked fine. Attached respective image and Modelsim transcript.
2. Used Quartus STD 17.0 & Modelsim 10.5b SE.

Try to regenerate the IP and simulate with appropriate modelsim version based on Quartus version used.

• Can you give more info on Tools used?

Let me know if this has helped resolve the issue you are facing or if you need any further assistance.

Best Regards,

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

I tried to regenerate the IP but i got the same problem.

I'm using Quartus prime lite 18.0.0 and ModelSim - INTEL FPGA STARTER EDITION 10.5b.

the settings of the generated IP are:

single supply

mode TX

3 channels

serdes factor 10

external PLL

Best Regards.

H​I,

Tried to simulate the IP generated using Quartus 18 lite and Modelsim SE 10.5b.

Not succeeded in producing the error.

But error was replicated on modelsim 10.6c.

Attached transcript and image.

1. Reinstall Modelsim from below link and try.

Let me know if this has helped resolve the issue you are facing or if you need any further assistance.
