The top-level of the testbench instantiates the following main modules:
•
refer to DMA Design Examples.
• altpcie_a10_tbed_hwtcl.v—This is the Root Port PCI Express BFM. For more information about this
module, refer to Root Port BFM.
• altera_avalon_dma—This module drives transactions to the Root Port BFM. This is the module that
you modify to vary the transactions sent to the example Endpoint design or your own design. For
more information about this module, refer to Root Port Design Example.
In addition, the testbench has routines that perform the following tasks:
• Generates the reference clock for the Endpoint at the required frequency.
• Provides a PCI Express reset at start up.
Note: Before running the testbench, you should set the following parameters in
sim/
:
•
serial_sim_hwtcl
: Set to 1 for serial simulation and 0 for PIPE simulation.
•
enable_pipe32_phyip_ser_driver_hwtcl
: Set to 0 for serial simulation and 1 for PIPE
simulation.
