2.4. Simulating the Design

Figure 9. Procedure
  1. Change to the testbench simulation directory.
  2. Run the simulation script for the simulator of your choice. Refer to the table below.
  3. Analyze the results.
Table 9.  Steps to Run Simulation
Simulator Working Directory Instructions
ModelSim* <example_design>/pcie_example_design_tb/pcie_example_design_tb/sim/mentor/
  1. Invoke vsim
  2. do msim_setup.tcl
  3. ld_debug
  4. run -all
  5. A successful simulation ends with the following message, "Simulation stopped due to successful completion!"
VCS* <example_design>/pcie_example_design_tb/pcie_example_design_tb/sim/synopsys/vcs
  1. sh vcs_setup.sh USER_DEFINED_SIM_OPTIONS=""
  2. A successful simulation ends with the following message, "Simulation stopped due to successful completion!"
NCSim* <example_design>/pcie_example_design_tb/pcie_example_design_tb/sim/cadence
  1. sh ncsim_setup.sh USER_DEFINED_SIM_OPTIONS=""
  2. A successful simulation ends with the following message, "Simulation stopped due to successful completion!"
