Instantiation of 'asj_xnqg' failed. The design unit was not found. - Instantiation of 'asj_xnqg' failed. The design unit was not found. Hi, I implemented an NCO and try to run a testbench. I added the .qip files of the nco and when i run the testbench I get following errors in Modelsim, I have quartus prime lite edition 20.1.0 and modelsim 2020.1. Can someone help me please : # ** Error: (vsim-3033) Instantiation of 'asj_xnqg' failed.

The design unit was not found. Hello, Thanks for your answer, I first tried with an NCO from the IP catalog. But I made my own NCO and it works perfectly now. Greetings, Daoud Replies: Re: Instantiation of 'asj_xnqg' failed. The design unit was not found. May I know if NCO is from IP catalog? or custom IP? If from catalog, you probably need license to simulate it. - 2023-07-27
