8.2.3. Simulating the SDI II IP Core Design
After design generation, the files located in the simulation testbench directory are available for you to simulate your design.
The SDI II IP core supports the following EDA simulators listed in the table below.
Simulator |
Supported Platform |
Supported Language |
---|---|---|
ModelSim SE* |
Windows*/Linux* |
VHDL and Verilog HDL |
Questa* Intel® FPGA Edition |
Windows/Linux |
Verilog HDL |
Synopsys VCS/VCS MX |
Windows/Linux |
Verilog HDL |
Aldec Riviera-PRO |
Linux |
Verilog HDL |
To simulate the design using the ModelSim SE* or Questa* Intel® FPGA Edition simulator, follow these steps:
- Start the simulator.
- On the File menu, click Change Directory > Select <simulation folder>/<preferred HDL>/mentor.
- Run the provided run_sim.tcl script. This file compiles the design and runs the simulation automatically. It provides a pass/fail indication on completion.
To simulate the design using the VCS/VCS MX simulator (in Linux), follow these steps:
- Start the VCS/VCS MX simulator.
- On the File menu, click Change Directory > Select <simulation folder>/<preferred HDL>/synopsys.
- Run the provided run_vcs.sh (in VCS) or run_vcsmx.sh (in VCSMX) script. This file compiles the design and runs the simulation automatically. It provides a pass/fail indication on completion.
To simulate the design using the Aldec Riviera-PRO simulator, follow these steps:
- Start the Aldec Riviera-PRO simulator.
- On the File menu, click Change Directory > Select <simulation folder>/<preferred HDL>/aldec.
- Run the provided run_riviera.tcl script. This file compiles the design and runs the simulation automatically. It provides a pass/fail indication on completion.
