Backannotated simulation setup for Cyclone 10

I would like to simulate a backannotated netlist of a Cyclone10GX design. I have tried compiling the following libraries: 

 

cyclone10gx_atoms.v altera_primitives.v altera_lnsim.sv twentynm_atoms.v 

 

Then modelsim complained that cyclone10gx_clkena_encrypted was missing. Running grep in the eda/sim_libs directory suggested that the VHDL libraries define that component but there didn't seem to be a Verilog definition. So I instead tried compiling 

 

cyclone10gx_atoms.vhd altera_primitives_components.vhd altera_primitives.vhd altera_lnsim_components.vhd twentynm_atoms.vhd 

 

With these libraries I get as far as the backannotated simulation starting, but then get thousands of errors along the lines of  

 

# ** Error (suppressible): (vsim-10000) simulation/modelsim/altera.vo(4069): Unresolved defparam reference to 'inst_acrosser_amem_a0_a_adata_a63_a__1_aauto_generated_aram_block1a48' in inst_acrosser_amem_a0_a_adata_a63_a__1_aauto_generated_aram_block1a48.data_interleave_width_in_bits. 

 

How do I know what are the correct libraries to use? Many thanks.

Hi Jeremy, 

 

I would advise you to use the native link to run the simulation, because native link will create a .tcl script and you should be able to see what exactly the device model that you need to run the simulation. 

 

You can refer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qznl1c0twy8 on how to use it. 

 

Thanks, 

Best regards, 

kentan
