Intel® Simics® Simulator for Altera® FPGAs: Release Notes
5.7.3. Known Issues
Issue |
Workaround |
|---|---|
24.1 binaries targeted for silicon can not be used with Simics due to SMMU in the HPS is not being modeled in Simics |
As part of the instructions to build the eSW binaries, we are provided instructions about how to patch the build flow targeted for silicon so the output binaries can be used with Simics. If you already have binaries created for silicon, we also provide instructions to adapt them to be used in Simics. This issue is expected to be fixed in 24.2 release. Fixed in 24.2 release. |
USB 3.1 disk (SuperSpeed) fails to be used when this is plugged into a USB2.0 OTG port. |
Currently, when using the plug command over this disk, the USB 2.0 OTG port is not shown as a possible connection option. Although this port still can be typed don't use this port as failures will be seen. |
Although the USB controllers in the HPS supports be configured as in device mode (OTG and DRD), the Universal Virtual platform doesn't allow to exercise this functionality because this platform only instantiates a single device, and to exercise this feature, it is required a virtual platform that instantiates at least two SoCs or devices so one can be configured in Host mode and other in device mode. |
No workaround available |
Current NAND DMA address range for A0 and B0 steppings is defined in 64 KB to match B0 implementation, which is wrong for A0 stepping as this should be defined to 4 KB to match A0 silicon. |
No workaround available. Fixed in 24.2 release. |
NAND boot is failing when Linux tries to load the file system. |
Some problem with the current 24.1 filesystem is causing the issue. This is under investigation. You can use NAND file system created in 23.4 release as workaround. Fixed in 24.2 release. |
