4.4.2. LVDS SERDES IP Simulation Design Example

The simulation design example uses your LVDS SERDES IP parameter settings to build the IP instance connected to a non-synthesizable simulation driver.

Using the design example, you can run a simulation using a single command, depending on the simulator that you use. The simulation demonstrates how you can use the LVDS SERDES IP.

Note: The non-synthesizable simulation driver works for the transmitter or receiver mode. However, to function in any receiver mode, the driver requires bit slip.

Generating and Using the Design Example

To generate the simulation design example from the source files for a Verilog simulator, run the following command in the design example directory:

quartus_sh -t make_sim_design.tcl VERILOG

To generate the simulation design example from the source files for a VHDL simulator, run the following command in the design example directory:

quartus_sh -t make_sim_design.tcl VHDL

The TCL script creates a sim directory that contains subdirectories—one for each supported simulation tool. You can find the scripts for each simulation tool in the corresponding directories.
