Description
Follow these steps to revert the "Fast Simulation Models" to "Default Simulation Models" in designs targeting Agilex™ 7 FPGA, Agilex™ 5 FPGA, or Agilex™ 3 FPGA devices in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 25.1.1 onwards.
Resolution
- Generate the example design from the .ip file or create a custom design for simulation (the same as the current flow).
- Update the auto-generated simulation script to point to Default Simulation Models by setting the following variables with either of the following methods:
- Method 1: For Questasim
- Update the Tcl-based scripts (msim_setup.tcl) with the following variables:
- set DEVICES_SIM_LIB_DIR "$QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR/../devices/sim_lib/"
- set QUARTUS_SIM_LIB_DIR "$QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR/eda/sim_lib/"
- Update the Tcl-based scripts (msim_setup.tcl) with the following variables:
- Method 2: For VCS (2-step), VCS (3-step)
- Update the qsys-generated script (sh based scripts: vcs_setup.sh or vcsmx_setup.sh) with the following variables:
- DEVICES_SIM_LIB_DIR="$QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR/../devices/sim_lib/"
- QUARTUS_SIM_LIB_DIR="$QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR/eda/sim_lib/"
- Update the qsys-generated script (sh based scripts: vcs_setup.sh or vcsmx_setup.sh) with the following variables:
- Method 1: For Questasim
The IP example design for these devices has been enabled to use Fast Simulation Models by default in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 25.1.1 onwards.
