Note: F-Tile MCDMA IP design example doesn’t support multiple physical functions and SR-IOV for simulation.
Note: For 2x8 Hard IP modes, simulation is supported on PCIe0 only.
Note: F-Tile MCDMA IP 1x4 design example does not support simulation.
Note: F-Tile does not support simulation on the ModelSim* - Intel® FPGA Edition, Questa* Intel® FPGA Edition, and Xcelium* simulators.
Note: For F-Tile System PLL reference clock requirement, refer to the Multi Channel DMA Intel FPGA IP for PCI Express User Guide.
Note: PIPE mode simulation has been added for F-Tile.

For information about supported simulators, refer to Supported Simulators.

Refer to Table MCDMA IP Modes and FPGA Development Kit for Design Examples for the supported Hard IP Modes that have Design Example support.
