Figure 6: VQM Netlist Generation
The VQM Netlist (embedded_gige_mac_phy.vqm) is created in the directory quartus/
atom_netlists
.
Note: Without the free license from Altera, the VQM netlist cannot be generated and an error
message will appear. You can disregard this message as it will not prevent you from running RTL
simulation.
3.9 Full Timing Gate Level Simulation
The gate level verification is performed using Quartus II VHDL output files (Structural VHDL and
SDF timing files) in the directory quartus/simulation.
To run the gate level simulation with Modelsim, use as described in chapters “3.5” and following. A
gate level simulation when the Testbuilder simulation option “Run Gate-Level” is used.
With a Modelsim PE or Modelsim AE, run the script gate.do:
• do gate.do
