3.3.2. Supported Simulators

The following tables show supported simulators for MCDMA example designs.
Note: Root Port mode MCDMA IP simulation is supported by VCS simulator only.
Note: For 2x8 Hard IP modes, example design simulation is supported on PCIe0 only.
Note: MCDMA R-Tile PIO using Bypass Mode design example simulation is supported for x16 and x8 topologies. The remaining R-Tile design example simulations are not supported. This feature may be supported in a future release of the Intel® Quartus® Prime software.
Note: For x4 (1x4 or 2x4 or 4x4) Hard IP modes, example design simulation is not supported.
