Step 2: Set Up Simulation

An IP functional simulation model is a cycle-accurate VHDL or Verilog HDL model
produced by the Quartus II software. It allows for fast functional simulation of IP
using industry-standard VHDL and Verilog HDL simulators.

You may only use these simulation model output files for simulation purposes and
expressly not for synthesis or any other purposes. Using these models for synthesis
will create a nonfunctional design.

To generate an IP functional simulation model for your MegaCore function, follow
these steps:

1. Click Set Up Simulation in IP Toolbench (see

Figure 2–12 on page 2–9

).

2. Turn on Generate Simulation Model (see

Figure 2–13

).
