Why does the Arria®10 PCI Express BFM fail when using the Aldec simulator (Riviera Pro)?

Environment

  • Quartus® II Subscription Edition
  • Simulation
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Due to a problem with the file altpcietb_bfm_rp_gen3_x8.sv, you will see compilation errors when simulating with the Aldec Riviera Pro™ simulator.

    Resolution

    To work around this problem, edit the file altpcietb_bfm_rp_gen3_x8.sv so that  "import altera_xcvr_functions_sv_bfm::*;" is located after the module declaration, as shown below:

     

    module sv_xcvr_plls #(

      parameter plls                       =1,           // number of PLLs

     

    ...

     

    );

    import altera_xcvr_functions_sv_bfm::*;

     

    This problem is not currently scheduled to be fixed in a future Quartus® Prime Software release.
