2.3.1.1. Siemens EDA QuestaSim* Simulator

Perform the following steps:
  1. Change to the simulation working directory: cd <my_design>/pcie_ed_tb/pcie_ed_tb/sim/mentor.
  2. Invoke vsim, which brings up a console window where you can run the next commands: Type vsim
    1. set TOP_LEVEL_NAME "pcie_ed_tb.pcie_ed_tb"
    2. do msim_setup.tcl
    3. ld_debug
    4. run -all
Note: If R-Tile is configured with Enable PIPE Mode Simulation active, use the following commands instead:
  1. set TOP_LEVEL_NAME "pcie_ed_tb.pcie_ed_tb"
  2. set USER_DEFINED_COMPILED_OPTIONS "+define+XTOR_PCIECXL_LM_SVS_SERDES_ARCHITECTURE +define+RTILE_PIPE_MODE"
  3. do msim_setup.tcl
  4. ld
  5. run -all

A successful simulation includes the following message: "Simulation stopped due to successful completion!"

Note: When running simulations under Windows* OS, if your project path is too long, you may encounter access errors to the design files. To avoid this, shorten your project path as much as possible. The longest path for any design file should be less than 189 characters.
