3.1.1. Setting Up the HPS Component for Simulation

The following steps outline how to set up the HPS component for simulation.

  1. Add the HPS component from the Platform Designer Component Library.
  2. Configure the component based on your application needs by selecting or deselecting the HPS/FPGA interfaces.
    Note: HPS only simulates the AXI* 4 bridge interfaces.
  3. Connect the appropriate HPS interfaces to other components in the system. For example, connect the FPGA-to-SDRAM AXI* 4 subordinate interface to a compatible AXI* or Avalon®-MM manager interface in another component in the system.
    Note: You can test, compile, and elaboration file (elab) without connecting anything to the HPS.
  4. Click Generate HDL and select desired simulation options in the simulation section before clicking Generate in the pop-up window.
