Intel: A circuit using On-Chip Flash IP in MAX® 10 fails at Load when using ModelSim®-Intel® FPGA Edition for Nativelink simulation.

MAX Quartus PrimeSimulation

Category: Simulation
Tools: ModelSim®-Intel® FPGA Edition / Quartus® Prime
Device: MAX®10

<Error message>
Error: (vsim-3033) Instantiation of 'altera_onchip_flash_block' failed. The design unit was not found.

The .sip file for the On-Chip Flash IP is not registered, causing ModelSim to use the source for synthesis instead of simulation.

Enable the "Simulation" setting when generating the On-Chip Flash IP.
Register the .sip file (in the simulation folder) generated at Generate to the Quartus project and try simulation.
