2.4. Simulation

The simulation test case performs the following steps:

  1. Starts up the example design with an operating speed of 1 Gbps.
  2. Configures the MAC, PHY, and FIFO buffer for both channels.
  3. Waits until the design example asserts the channel_tx_ready and channel_rx_ready signals for both channels.
  4. Sends the following packets:
    • 64-byte packet
    • 1518-byte packet
    • 100-byte packet
  5. Repeats steps 2 to 4 for 100M and 10M.

When simulation ends, the values of the MAC statistics counters are displayed in the transcript window. The transcript window also displays PASSED if the RX Avalon® streaming interface of channel 0 received all packets successfully, all statistics error counters are zero, and the RX MAC statistics counters are equal to the TX MAC statistics counters.
