2.3.17. IP Core File Locations
When you generate your Transceiver Native PHY IP, the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software generates the HDL files that define your instance of the IP. In addition, the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software generates an example Tcl script to compile and simulate your design in the ModelSim simulator. It also generates simulation scripts for Synopsys VCS, Aldec Active-HDL, Aldec Riviera-Pro, and Cadence Incisive Enterprise.
The following table describes the directories and the most important files for the parameterized Transceiver Native PHY IP core and the simulation environment. These files are in clear text.
File Name | Description |
---|---|
<project_dir> | The top-level project directory. |
<your_ip_name> .v or .vhd | The top-level design file. |
<your_ip_name> .qip | A list of all files necessary for Intel® Quartus® Prime compilation. |
<your_ip_name> .bsf | A Block Symbol File (.bsf) for your Transceiver Native PHY instance. |
<project_dir>/<your_ip_name>/ | The directory that stores the HDL files that define the Transceiver Native PHY IP. |
<project_dir>/sim | The simulation directory. |
<project_dir>/sim/aldec | Simulation files for Riviera-PRO simulation tools. |
<project_dir>/sim/cadence | Simulation files for Cadence simulation tools. |
<project_dir>/sim/mentor | Simulation files for Mentor simulation tools. |
<project_dir>/sim/synopsys | Simulation files for Synopsys simulation tools. |
<project_dir>/synth | The directory that stores files used for synthesis. |
The Verilog and VHDL Transceiver Native PHY IP cores have been tested with the following simulators:
- ModelSim SE
- Synopsys VCS MX
If you select VHDL for your transceiver PHY, only the wrapper generated by the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software is in VHDL. All the underlying files are written in Verilog or SystemVerilog. To enable simulation using a VHDL-only ModelSim license, the underlying Verilog and SystemVerilog files for the Transceiver Native PHY IP are encrypted so that they can be used with the top-level VHDL wrapper without using a mixed-language simulator.
For more information about simulating with ModelSim, refer to Sourcing Mentor Graphics ModelSim Simulator Setup Scripts.
The Transceiver Native PHY IP cores do not support the NativeLink feature in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software.
