2.2.1. Generating the Design Example with R-Tile Configured in PIPE Mode

Simulation in PIPE mode (PHY Interface for the PCI Express) offers significant optimization in simulation times, as it allows for more direct and efficient communication between the simulation model and the physical layer.

PIPE mode simulation is supported for the PIO, SRIOV and Performance design examples. In the 24.3 release, PIPE mode simulation is only supported for the VCS and VCSMX simulators.

Note: To use PIPE mode, you need to select the OPN AGID041R29D1E2VR1.
If you want to generate the Performance design example in PIPE Mode, perform the following steps to enable it:
  1. On the Top-Level Settings tab, enable the Enable PIPE Mode Simulation.
Note: Enable PIPE Mode Simulation is supported for simulation purpose only. It does not support Quartus® Prime compilation.
