Why do I see incorrect port values during simulation of custom Platform Designer components when using the TERMINATION port property?

Environment

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

    Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software v22.1, when a SystemVerilog HDL interface input port is terminated then the HDL code generated by Platform Designer has no declaration of the signals being assigned the termination values.

     

    For example, when the following settings are applied:

    add_sv_interface bus mem_ifc
    set_parameter_property my_interface_parameter SV_INTERFACE_PARAMETER bus

    set_port_property address_in SV_INTERFACE_SIGNAL bus

    set_port_property address_in TERMINATION true
    set_port_property address_in TERMINATION_VALUE 0xFF

     

    Platform Designer will generate the  incorrect HDL code missing the first line:

         logic [7:0] address_in;

    my_ip my_ip_0 (
        .bus (my_ip_0_bus)  // interface,  width = 1, mem_ifc.bus
    );

    assign my_ip_0_bus.address_in = address_in;

    assign address_in = 10'b0011111111;
