Cadence NCSim VHDL Compilation Error for Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC

Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
    Ethernet
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

Critical Issue

Description

The Cadence NCSim VHDL simulator may cause compilation error for Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC designs. The simulator library mapping in the Qsys .spd file shows the following error or similar:

ncelab: *W,ARCMRA: Elaborating the WORK.TOP_TB:RTL, MRA (most recently analyzed) architecture.ncelab: *E,MULVLG: Possible bindings for instance of design unit 'altera_reset_controller' in 'top_inst.top_tb_top_inst:rtl' are: alt_em10g32_0.altera_reset_controller:module rst_controller.altera_reset_controller:module.ncelab: *W,CUNOTB: component instance is not fully bound (:top_tb:top_inst:rst_controller) [File:top_tb_top_inst.vhd, Line:352].ncsim: 12.20-s014: (c) Copyright 1995-2013 Cadence Design Systems, Inc.ncsim: *F,NOSNAP: Snapshot 'top_tb' does not exist in the libraries

Resolution

To work around this issue, regenerate the simulation scripts using the following command:

ip-make-simscript --spd=<spd_file> --compile-to-work

This issue will be fixed in a future version of the Quartus II software.
