- In the transcript window, change your working directory to mentor by using the following command.
cd <Project directory>/sys_tb/sys_tb/sim/mentor
- Copy the memory initialization file generated into the current path (Mentor folder)
file copy -force <Project directory>/ram.hex ./
- Run the msim_setup.tcl by using the following command.
do msim_setup.tcl
- Compiles all the design files and elaborates the top-level design with vopt option by using the following command
ld_debug
- Type run 2ms to start the simulation for 2 milliseconds.
At the end of the simulation, “Hello world, this is the Nios V/m cpu checking in …” message prints in the Transcript window. You can observe the simulation results from the waveform viewer as well. The following figure shows the simulation result.
