Error in library module cyclonev_atoms_ncrypt

[Altera_Forum]

I am attempting to run a simulation with design components from QSYS. 

 I am running the msim_setup.tcl script provided by QSYS and am getting the following error message...  # vsim -t ps -L work -L work_lib -L error_adapter_0 -L altera_epcq_controller_core -L altera_asmi_parallel -L rsp_mux -L cmd_mux -L cmd_demux -L router_001 -L router -L avalon_st_adapter -L crosser -L rsp_mux_002 -L rsp_mux_001 -L rsp_demux_011 -L rsp_demux_009 -L rsp_demux_005 -L rsp_demux_004 -L rsp_demux_002 -L rsp_demux -L cmd_mux_002 -L cmd_demux_002 -L cmd_demux_001 -L epcq_controller_0_avl_mem_burst_adapter -L nios2_qsys_data_master_limiter -L router_014 -L router_007 -L router_005 -L router_003 -L router_002 -L avalon_internal_bram_interface_avalon_slave_agent -L nios2_qsys_data_master_agent -L avalon_internal_bram_interface_avalon_slave_translator -L nios2_qsys_data_master_translator -L remote_update_controller -L remote_update_core -L cpu -L dll0 -L oct0 -L c0 -L s0 -L p0 -L pll0 -L p2b_adapter -L b2p_adapter -L transacto -L p2b -L b2p -L fifo -L timing_adt -L jtag_phy_embedded_in_jtag_master -L rst_controller -L irq_synchronizer -L irq_mapper -L mm_interconnect_1 -L mm_interconnect_0 -L sysid_qsys -L sysclk_timer -L remote_update_0 -L onchip_mem -L nios2_qsys -L mem_if_lpddr2_emif -L mddr_to_mm_bridge_0 -L jtag_to_avalon_master -L hw_git_hash -L ext_int -L epcq_controller_0 -L avalon_internal_bram_interface -L avalon_external_interface_0 -L altera_ver -L lpm_ver -L sgate_ver -L altera_mf_ver -L altera_lnsim_ver -L cyclonev_ver -L cyclonev_hssi_ver -L cyclonev_pcie_hip_ver C5G_QSYS  # Start time: 15:55:58 on Jun 21,2018 # ** Note: (vsim-3812) Design is being optimized... # ** Error: C:/bin/altera/17.0.1/quartus/eda/sim_lib/mentor/cyclonev_atoms_ncrypt.v(38): in protected region  Anyone have an idea on what is causing this?  Thanks! Mike

As it is happening after the note saying that optimization has started, have you tried running it with optimization turned off?

Here is the result from running with -novopt....

This will cause your simulation to run very slowly. If you are using this switch to preserve visibility for Debug or PLI features, please see the User's Manual section on Preserving Object Visibility with vopt. -novopt option is now deprecated and will be removed in future releases. # Error loading design # Error: Error loading design # Pausing macro execution  Note that I am simply attempting to run the msim_setup.tcl generated by QSYS.

That's an error with turning off vopt now. Try running it again with -suppress 12110 to suppress that error.

After using the suppress option, the simulation gets to this and fails.... 

 # Loading altera_mf_ver.altera_std_synchronizer_bundle # ** Error: (vsim-3033) Instantiation of '<protected><protected><protected><protected><protected><protected>' failed.

Wow... That is not a helpful error message...
