Why does simulation of the Intel® FPGA Triple-Speed Ethernet IP core fail in Mentor* ModelSim designs targeting Intel® Arria® 10 and Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX devices?

Environment

    Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

Critical Issue

Description

Due to a problem with the Intel® FPGA Triple-Speed Ethernet IP designs targeting the Intel® Arria® 10 and Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX devices may fail simulation when using the Mentor* Modelsim simulator in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro software version 19.1.

Resolution

To work around this problem, turn off optimization in the simulator by replace the "-voptargs= acc" flag in simulation script msim_setup.tcl with "-novopt" flag.

This issue has been fixed starting in version 20.3 of the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro software.
