Version Control Files for Altera IP

[Altera_Forum]

I am using Quartus 16.0 and would like to only store in version control the necessary files needed for Altera IP (this includes files for simulation). I tried only storing the .QSYS and .SOPCINFO files, but the Quartus Analysis and Synthesis stage does not generate the simulation files for the IP. It seems as though I need to go back into the IP editor and tell the tool to generate simulation files again. Can someone tell me what else needs to be stored besides the .QSYS and .SOPCINFO files in version control to allow simulation of the IP? FYI...I use Altera-Modelsim for simulation.

From my experience, the only way to version control is to include all the files that were generated for the IP.

Hi kendallogic, 

for IP simulation you need some device libs (altera_mf, altera_primitives, ...) and the IP model. It should be sufficient to version control the model source files. I'm using UniPhy IP for DDR3 RAM. The simulation model for the DDR3 controller must explicit generated with megawizard (generation option). For IP simulation a msim_setup.tcl is generated. You see in the tcl file under alias "com" which files are needed for simulation.  Jens
