Generating a Qsys Testbench System
Follow these steps to generate a testbench system for the DUT:
1. On the Generation tab, select Generate Testbench.
2. Change the parameter values to match the values listed in the table.
Table 16-3: Generation Tab Parameter Values
Value Parameters
Simulation
Standard, BFMs for standard Qsys Interfaces Create testbench Qsys system
Verilog Create simulation model
Leave this option off Allow mixed-language simulation
Output Directory
working_directory/ug_avalon_verification /qsys/st_bfm_qsys_
tutorial Testbench
3. Click Generate. Save the system if you are prompted to do so. Do not close the Qsys window after
successful generation.
The test program for this tutorial is located in <working_directory>/ug_avalon_verification /qsys /
user_test_program .
Note:
Setting up the Simulation Environment
To set up the simulation environment for your test program, open your ModelSim script file ( .tcl or .do ).
Set the hierarchy variables used in the Qsys-generated simulation script ( msim_setup.tcl ). The ModelSim
script file ( load_sim.tcl ) included with this tutorial has the correct hierarchy variable settings. The following
coding examples show how to set up the hierarchical variables used in the Qsys-generated simulation model.
Table 16-4: Coding Examples to Set Hierarchy Variables
Description Hierarchy Variables Coding Example
Sets the name of the top level file that
instantiates the Qsys-generated testbench
system and the test program.
