Failed to run ip-setup-simulation: - Failed to run ip-setup-simulation:
Hello Altera Community. I'm trying to simulate an example generated by the FPGA AI Suite. However I get a list of errors which is attached below in a txt file. In Settings -> IP Simulation CHECKED: Generate IP Sim model FLOW: QRUN SIMULATORS: QuestaSIM It seems like the example is already setup for simulation expect its missing a testbench. I am running Quartus in admin mode. I have installed EDA Lib. I have installed Questa. What should I do to get it working?

Re: Failed to run ip-setup-simulation:
Is this because it is defined in a SystemVerilog package, as mentioned in the user guide? Does the simulation file generation succeed when you select 'Verilog' instead? I am not very familiar with the FPGA AI Suite IP, and I believe the default simulation flow may differ when working with it. I would recommend referring to the user guide below for more details. https://docs.altera.com/r/docs/863373/2026.1.1/fpga-ai-suite-handbook/the-flow-remove-arch-flow Regards, Richard Tan

Re: Failed to run ip-setup-simulation:
It seems that it is not possible to generate a simulation for the systems in the example. Error: altera_ai_ip_2: altera_ai_ip does not support generation for VHDL Simulation. Generation is available for: Quartus Synthesis. Error: SPD file was not generated: C:\Users\mads\Desktop\agx5_soc_s2m_lt\hw\qsys\ip\dla\dla_altera_ai_ip_2\dla_altera_ai_ip_2.spd

The error indicates that the .spd files are not found. Have you generated the simulation files for your Qsys system? Regards, Richard Tan - 2026-06-24
