Why do I get an error when simulating the R-Tile Multi Channel DMA Intel® FPGA IP for PCI Express Design Example for Intel® Agilex™ devices using VCS simulator?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • OS Independent family

    BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 22.4, an error will be observed when trying to simulate the R-Tile Multi Channel DMA Intel® FPGA IP for PCI Express design example using VCS simulator.

    The error informaiton below will be seen:

    Resolution

    No work around to this problem exists.

    This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software.
