Sorry, I forgot to answer this question that you asked in the HARP forum. L=
et's continue the conversation there. This is what I just posted:

The current ASE support for .ip files assumes that they are part of logic g=
enerated by Qsys, not HLS. As part of ASE setup, Qsys is invoked on .qsys f=
iles and the .ip files may be input to that. The generated RTL is added to =
the simulation environment. I confess I don't know how HLS input files are =
managed, though it appears we need to do something similar to support it. T=
here is currently no code in ASE's generate_ase_environment.py to do this. =
(You can see the config_qsys_sources method there for handling Qsys.)

For now, I recommend that you invoke HLS outside of ASE's setup and add the=
 HLS-generated RTL to your sources.txt. Note that, if necessary, it is poss=
ible to put Quartus-specific and simulator-specific definitions in sources.=
txt. Of course it is better to avoid that if possible. Invoke "rtl_src_conf=
ig --help" to see the syntax. rtl_src_config is used in both ASE and Quartu=
s configuration to parse sources.txt.

I don't believe we have ever released the CCI-P to Avalon adapter, though w=
e should consider doing that as a BBB.

    Hi,
    =

    I'm experiencing some difficulties while trying to use an .ip file as =

    source for ASE. I'm currently simply adding the .ip file to the =

    sources.txt file that's fed to afu_sim_setup. The file was generated by =

    Intel HLS and is inside the component directory.
    When I try to execute "make" in the build directory VCS complains that =

    the module from the IP is unresolved:

    I have consulted the AFU development guide and I think .ip files should =

    be accepted. It also references some example source text files that use =

    IP but I can't find them as I only have access to platform release =

    5.0.3.
    Does anyone know how to solve this? Also, where can I find other =

    platform releases so that I can check more examples?
    =

    Unrelated to this problem, where can I find the CCI-P to Avalon-MM =

    adapter? I have seen it referenced but also can't find it.
    =

    Thank you,
