Getting Started with Qsys and the BFMs
This example shows you how to use the Qsys tool in Quartus II software to create a top-level
design environment. You will use the ex1_back_to_back_sv, a SystemVerilog example from the
$QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/../ip/altera/mentor_vip_ae/axi3/qsys-examples directory in the Altera
Complete Design Suite (ACDS) installation.
You will do the following tasks to set up the design environment:
1. Create a work directory
2. Copy the example to the work directory
3. Invoke Qsys from the Quartus II software Tools menu
4. Generate a top-level netlist
5. Run simulation by referencing the README and scripts for your simulation
environment
Setting Up Simulation from a UNIX Platform
The following steps outline how to set up the simulation environment from a UNIX platform.
1. Create a work directory into which you copy the example directory qsys-examples,
which contains the directory ex1_back_to_back_sv from the Installation.
a. Using the mkdir command, create the work directory into which you will copy the
qsys-examples directory.
mkdir axi3-qsys-examples
b. Using the cp command, copy the qsys-examples directory from the Installation
directory into your work directory.
cp -r $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/../ip/altera/mentor_vip_ae/axi3/\
qsys-examples/* axi3-qsys-examples/
2. Using the cd command, change the directory path to your local path where the example
resides.
cd axi3-qsys-examples/ex1_back_to_back_sv
3. Now open the Qsys tool. Refer to the Running the Qsys Tool section for details.
