altera_temp_sense simulation model empty

Hi,

 

I have a project using a Qsys design targeting Stratix V. I'm using altera_temp_sense to get the core temperature. This works well in synthesis, but when I create a testbench for the design using Qsys it seems like the output file for the simulation model is nonsensical:

 

// (C) 2001-2019 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved. [...] // agreement for further details.     `timescale 1 ns / 1 ns module altera_temp_sense ( corectl, eoc, reset, tempout);   parameter DEVICE_FAMILY = "Arria 10";   input corectl; input reset; output eoc; output [9:0] tempout; assign eoc = 1'b0; assign tempout = 10'h0;   endmodule

Surely this is incorrect? Looking into intelFPGA/19.1/ip/altera/altera_temp_sense/ I cannot see anything obvious I'm doing wrong either, it seems to simply lack a model.

 

ModelSim complains as well when executing the generated design script:

 

# ** Error (suppressible): testbench/[..].v(826): (vopt-2912) Port 'clk' not found in module 'altera_temp_sense' (1st connection). # ** Error (suppressible): testbench/[..].v(826): (vopt-2912) Port 'tsdcalo' not found in module 'altera_temp_sense' (2nd connection). # ** Error (suppressible): testbench/[..].v(826): (vopt-2912) Port 'tsdcaldone' not found in module 'altera_temp_sense' (3rd connection). # ** Error (suppressible): testbench/[..].v(826): (vopt-2912) Port 'clr' not found in module 'altera_temp_sense' (4th connection).

Thanks,

 

EDIT: I double-checked the manual for the IP core and sure enough it says "Note: The Intel FPGA Temperature Sensor IP core does not have simulation model files and

cannot be simulated.". That's... annoying and quite unexpected.
