Table 2-2: Qsys Generation Output Files

Directory

Description

<working_dir>/ep_g3x8_avmm256_integrated_tb/ep_
g3x8_avmm256_integrated_tb/

Includes directories for all components of the

testbench. Also includes the following files:
• Simulation Package Descriptor File (

.spd

) which

lists the required simulation files

• Comma-Separated Value File (

.csv

) describing

the files in the testbench

<working_dir>/ep_g3x8_avmm256_integrated_tb/ep_
g3x8_avmm256_integrated_tb/sim/<cad_vendor>
/

Includes testbench subdirectories for the Aldec,

Cadence, Mentor, and Synopsys simulation tools

with the required libraries and simulation scripts.

Understanding Simulation Log File Generation

Starting with the Quartus II 14.0 software release, simulation automatically creates a log file,

altpcie_

monitor_<dev>_dlhip_tlp_file_log.log

in your simulation directory.

Simulating the Example Design in ModelSim

1. In a terminal, change directory to

<workingdir>/pcie_g3x8_integrated_tb/ep_g3x8_avmm256_integrated_tb/

sim/mentor

.

2. Start the ModelSim

®

simulator.

3. To run the simulation, type the following commands in a terminal window:

a.

do msim_setup.tcl

b.

ld_debug

The

ld_debug

command compiles all design files and elaborates the top-level design without any

optimization.

c.

run -all

The simulation performs the following operations:
