2.4. Compiling and Simulating the Design

The design example testbench simulates your generated design.
  1. Change the working directory to <example_design_directory>/ed_sim/<simulator>
    Note: In Serial Lite IV Intel® FPGA IP version 1.1.0, the ModelSim* simulator does not capture the top-level IP signals in the waveform. To capture the top-level IP signals, add the ld_debug command to the ed_sim/mentor/run_tb.tcl file.
  2. Run the simulation script for the simulator of your choice.

    Simulator File Directory Command
    ModelSim*
    Note: This IP only supports ModelSim* - Intel® FPGA Starter Edition simulator.
    		<variation name>seriallite4_0_example_design/ed_sim/mentor do run_tb.tcl

    VCS* <variation name>seriallite4_0_example_design/ed_sim/synopsys/vcs sh run_tb.sh

    Xcelium* <variation name>seriallite4_0_example_design/ed_sim/xcelium sh run_tb.sh
  3. When the simulation is complete, you can now analyze the results and verify the design. A successful simulation ends with the following message, "Test Passed."
