Critical Issue
The “Compile the Design in the Qsys Design Flow” section in the “Getting Started” chapter of the Stratix V Hard IP for PCI Express User Guide incorrectly instructs you to select ModelSim for the Simulation on the EDA Toll Settings page. This step causes the Quartus II software to try to create a post simulation netlist; however, post compilation netlist generation is not supported.
This is a documentation error only.
When creating your Quartus II project, do not select a simulation tool on the EDA Tool Settings page.
This is fixed version 11.1 of the Stratix V Hard IP for PCI Express User Guide.
