6. To use a waveform file you set up for a previous simulation run, you must call the
waveform setup file explicitly. If your waveform file name is wave_presets.do, at
the simulator prompt, type the following command:
do wave_presets.do
r

command:
run -all

The IP Compiler for PCI Express test driver performs a sequence of transactions. The
status of these transactions is displayed in the ModelSim simulation message
window. The test driver performs the following transactions:
■ Various configuration accesses to the IP Compiler for PCI Express in your system
after the link is initialized
■ Setup of the Address Translation Table for requests from the DMA component
■ Setup of the DMA controller to read 512 bytes of data from the Root Port BFM’s
shared memory
■ Setup of the DMA controller to write the same 512 bytes of data back to the Root
Port BFM’s shared memory
■ Data comparison and report of any mismatch
After simulation completes successfully, at the ModelSim prompt, type quit to exit the
ModelSim simulator.
