Getting Started
1. Create a directory in the <project directory>\testbench directory.
2. Launch your simulation tool inside this directory and create the
following libraries:
● <device name>_ver
● auk_qdrii_lib
3. Copy the <project directory>/simulation/<simulator name>_v.sdo file
into the compilation directory.
4. Compile the files in Table 2–5 into the appropriate library.
5. Set the Tcl variable gRTL_DELAYS to 0, which tells the testbench not
to use the insert extra delays in the system, because these are
applied inside the gate level model. Configure your simulator to use
transport delays, a timestep of picoseconds, and to include the
auk_qdrii_lib and <device name>_ver library.
Simulating in Third-Party Simulation Tools Using NativeLink
You can perform a simulation in a third-party simulation tool from within
the Quartus II software, using NativeLink.
f
For more information on NativeLink, refer to the Simulating Altera IP
Using NativeLink chapter in volume 3 of the Quartus II Handbook.
To set up simulation in the Quartus II software using NativeLink, follow
these steps:
1. Create a custom variation with an IP functional simulation model.
2. Obtain and copy a memory model to a suitable location, for
example, the testbench directory.

Before running the simulation you may also need to edit the
testbench to match the chosen memory model.
