To simulate the testbench design using the ModelSim* - Intel® FPGA Edition/ ModelSim* - Intel® FPGA Starter Edition or QuestaSim* simulator, follow these steps:

  1. Launch the ModelSim* - Intel® FPGA Edition/ ModelSim* - Intel® FPGA Starter Edition or QuestaSim* simulator.
  2. On the File menu, click Change Directory > Select <example_design_directory>/ip_sim/testbench/<simulator name>.
  3. On the File menu, click Load > Macro file. Select run_altera_jesd204_tb.tcl. This file compiles the design and runs the simulation automatically, providing a pass or fail indication on completion.

To simulate the testbench design using the Aldec Riviera-PRO* simulator, follow these steps:

  1. Launch the Aldec Riviera-PRO* simulator.
  2. On the File menu, click Change Directory > Select <example_design_directory>/ip_sim/testbench/<simulator name>.
  3. On the Tool menu, click Execute Macro. Select run_altera_jesd204_tb.tcl. This file compiles the design and runs the simulation automatically, providing a pass or fail indication on completion.

To simulate the testbench design using the VCS* , VCS* MX (in Linux), or Cadence simulators, follow these steps:

  1. Launch the Synopsys VCS* or VCS* MX, or Cadence Xcelium* Parallel simulator.
  2. On the File menu, click Change Directory > Select <example_design_directory>/ip_sim/testbench/<simulator name>.
  3. Run the run_altera_jesd204_tb.sh file. This file compiles the design and runs the simulation automatically, providing a pass or fail indication on completion.
