2.3. Simulating the Design Example

You can simulate the design example by running a simulation script. Refer to the following flow diagram for the simulation steps.

Figure 9. Simulation Procedure
  1. At the command prompt, change to the testbench simulation directory as below:
    • DMA SoC Mode: <project_directory>/simulation/testbench/setup_scripts/<simulators>
    • DMA PCIe Mode: <project_directory>/PCIE_MODE/pcie_ed_sim_tb/pcie_ed_sim_tb/sim/<simulators>
  2. Run the simulation script for the simulator. The script compiles and runs the testbench in the simulator. Refer to the following table for simulation steps.
  3. Analyze the results. The simulation reports “Test PASSED” or "Simulation passed" if no errors occur.
