Directory Description
/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
/ep_g3x8_avmm256_integrated_tb/ep_
g3x8_avmm256_integrated_tb/sim// 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__dlhip_tlp_file_log.log in your simulation directory.

Simulating the Example Design in ModelSim
1. In a terminal, change directory to
/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:
