Simulate the Example Design

4.

Set the Tcl variable gRTL_DELAYS to 1, which tells the testbench to
model the extra delays in the system necessary for RTL simulation

5.

Load the testbench in your simulator with the timestep set to
picoseconds.

VHDL Gate-Level Simulations

For VHDL simulations with gate-level models, follow these steps:

1.

Create a directory in the <project directory>\testbench directory.

2.

Launch your simulation tool inside this directory and create the
following libraries.

<device name>

auk_qdrii_lib

3.

Compile the files in

Table 2–3

into the appropriate library. The files

are in VHDL93 format.

4.

Set the Tcl variable gRTL_DELAYS to 0, which tells the testbench not
to use the insert extra delays in the system, because these are
applied inside the gate-level model.

5.

Load the testbench in your simulator with the timestep set to
picoseconds.

Verilog HDL IP Functional Simulations

For Verilog HDL simulations with IP functional simulation models,
follow these steps:

1.

Create a directory in the <project directory>\testbench directory.

2.

Launch your simulation tool inside this directory and create the
following libraries.:
