2.1.3. Simulating the Design Example Testbench

Figure 13. Procedure to Simulate Design Example Testbench

Follow these steps to simulate the testbench:

  1. Navigate to the sim directory:
    cd intel_eth_tse_0_example_design/ex_tse/sim/
  2. Run the IP setup simulation:
    ip-setup-simulation --quartus-project=../../compilation_test_design/intel_eth_tse.qpf
  3. Navigate to the testbench simulation directory:
    cd intel_eth_tse_0_example_design/example_testbench/
  4. Run the simulation script for the supported simulator of your choice. The script compiles and runs the testbench in the simulator. Refer to the table Steps to Simulate the Testbench.
    Table 11.  Steps to Simulate the Testbench
    Simulator Instructions
    QuestaSim* In the command line, type vsim -do run_vsim_mac_pcs.do. If you prefer to simulate without bringing up the QuestaSim* GUI, type vsim -c -do run_vsim_mac_pcs.do.
    Synopsys* VCS* MX In the command line, type sh run_vcsmx_mac_pcs.sh.
    Xcelium* In the command line, type sh run_xcelium_mac_pcs.sh.
    Riviera-PRO* In the command line, type vsim -c -do run_rivierapro_mac_pcs.do.
  5. Analyze the results. The successful testbench sends five packets, receives the same number of packets, and displays the following message:
    End of Simulation - Break
