3.6. Using the Qrun Flow
The Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software now supports a new Qrun flow for IP generation. The Qrun flow optionally creates simulation files, including the functional simulation model, and any testbench (or example design).
The Qrun flow, for use with only the QuestaSim* and Questa* Intel® FPGA Edition simulators, is an enhancement over the traditional flow that can automatically combine the compile, optimize, and simulate functions into a single step.
This section describes how to specify the Qrun settings, generate the system or component simulation model and simulator setup scripts, and generate the testbench and example design.
