Generating the Testbench Simulation Model
To generate the testbench simulation model, execute the generated script (gen_sim_verilog.tcl or
gen_sim_vhdl.tcl) located in the <example_design_directory>/ip_sim folder.
To run the Tcl script using the Quartus II sofware, follow these steps:
1. Launch the Quartus II software.
2. On the View menu, click Utility Windows > Tcl Console.
3.
In the Tcl Console, type cd <example_design_directory>/ip_sim to go to the specified
directory.
4.
Type source gen_sim_verilog.tcl (Verilog) or source gen_sim_vhdl.tcl (VHDL)
to generate the simulation files.
To run the Tcl script using the command line, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the Quartus II software resource.
2.
Type cd <example_design_directory>/ip_sim to go to the specified directory.
3.
Type quartus_sh -t gen_sim_verilog.tcl (Verilog) or quartus_sh -t
gen_sim_vhdl.tcl (VHDL) to generate the simulation files.
Simulating the IP Core Testbench
The JESD204B IP core simulation supports the following simulators:
• ModelSim-Altera SE/AE
• VCS
• VCS MX
• Cadence
• Aldec Riviera
Note:
VHDL is not supported in ModelSim-Altera AE, VCS simulators, and Aldec Riviera (for Arria 10
devices only).
