3.8.2. Simulation Parameters

After design generation, simulation files are available for you to simulate your design. To simulate your design, ensure that the Serial Lite III Streaming IP core source and sink cores are both generated with the same parameters or are duplex cores.

  • Stratix V and Arria V GZ files are located in the <variation name>_sim directory
  • Intel® Arria® 10 and Intel® Stratix® 10 files are located in the <variation name> directory

The example testbench simulates the core using the user-specified configuration.

Meta frame length in words (meta_frame_length) 200 —
Simulation-specific parameters
Total samples to transfer (total_samples_to_transfer) 2000 Total samples to transfer during simulation.
Mode (mode) Continuous/burst The testbench environment may automatically choose one of the modes depending on the random seed with which it is provided.
Skew insertion enable (skew_insertion_enable) Yes Skew testing is enabled. The testbench environment randomly inserts skew in the lanes within the range 0 - 107 UI.
Enable M20K ECC support (ecc_enable) 0 When set, the core is simulated with the ECC-enabled variant. Use the ECC-enabled variant in the test environment.

When ECC mode is disabled, the two most significant bits of the error buses in the source or sink direction are Don't Care.
