Critical Issue
Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software release 17.1, in simulation you will see the waitrequest signal stay deasserted (low) even while reset is asserted. This is a violation of the Avalon®-MM specification and may result in errors from some testbenches, but is not a functional issue.
To work around this problem, you can ignore this behavior, and either ignore the testbench errors or downgrade them to warnings.
This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future Quartus Prime software release.
