3.3.5.1. Steps to Run the Simulation : QuestaSim* / Questa* Intel® FPGA Edition

Simulation Directory

<example_design>/pcie_ed_sim_tb/pcie_ed_sim_tb/sim/mentor/

Instructions

  1. Invoke vsim (by typing vsim, which brings up a console window where you can run the following commands).
  2. set USER_DEFINED_ELAB_OPTIONS "-voptargs=\"-noprotectopt\""
  3. do msim_setup.tcl
    Note: Alternatively, instead of doing Steps 1 and 2, you can type: vsim -c -do msim_setup.tcl 
  4. ld_debug
  5. run -all
  6. A successful simulation ends with the following message: "Simulation stopped due to successful completion!"
Note: For PIPE mode simulation for F-Tile or R-Tile, use the following command instead:
  • vsim -do run_msim.tcl
