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.
