1.7.1. Testbench Files

The testbench files are located in the following folders:

  • <project directory>/altera_eth_tse_wo_1588/testbench/Modelsim/testcase<n> for the reference design without the IEEE 1588v2 feature.
  • <project directory>/altera_eth_tse_w_1588/testbench/Modelsim/testcase<n> for the reference design with the IEEE 1588v2 feature.
Table 4.  Testbench Files
Name Description
avalon_bfm_wrapper.sv A wrapper for the Avalon BFMs that the avalon_driver.sv file uses.
avalon_driver.sv A SystemVerilog HDL driver that uses the BFMs to form the TX and RX datapaths, and access the Avalon-MM interface.
avalon_if_params_pkg.sv A SystemVerilog HDL testbench that contains parameters to configure the BFMs. Because the configuration is specific to the DUT, you must not change the contents of this file.
avalon_st_eth_packet_monitor.sv A SystemVerilog HDL testbench that monitors the Avalon-ST TX and RX interfaces.
default_test_params_pkg.sv A SystemVerilog HDL package that contains the default parameter settings of the testbench.
eth_mac_frame.sv A SystemVerilog HDL class that defines the Ethernet frames. The avalon_driver.sv file uses this class.
eth_register_map_params_pkg.sv A SystemVerilog HDL package that maps addresses to the Avalon-MM control registers.
ptp_timestamp.sv A SystemVerilog HDL class that defines the timestamp in the testbench.
tb_run.tcl A Tcl script that starts a simulation session in the ModelSim simulation software.

tb_testcase.sv

tb_testcase_1588.sv

A SystemVerilog HDL testbench file that controls the flow of the testbench.

tb_top_n.sv

tb_top_n_1588.sv

The top-level testbench file consists of the device under test (DUT), a client packet generator, and a client packet monitor along with other logic blocks.
wave.do A signal tracing macro script that the ModelSim simulation software uses to display testbench signals.
