Understanding Simulation Log File Generation
Starting with the Quartus II 14.0 software release, simulation automatically creates a log file,

in your simulation directory.

Simulating the Example Design
Follow these steps to simulate the Qsys system using ModelSim:
1. In a terminal window, change to the
directory.
2. Start the ModelSim simulator by typing
vsim
.
3. To compile the simulation, type the following commands in the terminal window:
•
source msim_setup.tcl
(The
msim_setup.tcl
file defines aliases.
•
ld_debug
(The
ld_debug
command argument stops optimizations, improving visibility in the
ModelSim waveforms. )
The following figure shows the design hierarchy for the Configuration Space Bypass Example Design after
compilation.
