4. Simulation Testbench
The HDMI testbench simulates a serial loopback design from a TX instance to an RX instance. Internal video pattern generator, audio sample generator, sideband data generator, and auxiliary data generator modules drive the HDMI TX instance and the serial output from the TX instance connects to the RX instance in the testbench.
The simulation support two different mode of simulation:
- HDMI IP Core with Integrated Transceiver (with dual simplex)
- HDMI IP Core without Integrated Transceiver (non Integrated Transceiver)

- Go to the desired simulation folder.
- Run the simulation script for the supported simulator of your choice. The script compiles and runs the testbench in the simulator.
- Analyze the results.
