Verification
MegaCore verification involves simulation testing and hardware testing.
Simulation Environment
Altera has carried out extensive functional tests using industry-standard
models to ensure the functionality of the RLDRAM II controller. In
addition, Altera has carried out a wide variety of gate-level tests on the
RLDRAM II controller to verify the post-compilation functionality of the
controller.
Hardware Testing
shows the Altera development board on which Altera
hardware tested the RLDRAM II controller.
Table 2–14. Variation Path Parameters
Parameter
Description
Enable hierarchy control
The constraints script analyzes your design, to automatically extract the hierarchy to
your variation. To prevent the constraints script analyzing your design, turn on
Enable Hierarchy Control, and enter the correct hierarchy path to your datapath.
Hierarchy path to
RLDRAM II controller
datapath
The hierarchy path is the path to your RLDRAM II controller datapath, minus the top-
level name. The hierarchy entered in the wizard must match your design, because
the constraints scripts rely on this path for correct operation.

Parameter
Description
Prefix all RLDRAM II pins
on the device with
This string prefixes the pin names for the FPGA pins that are connected to the
RLDRAM II controller.
