1.3.1.4. Adding IP Signals to the Simulation Waveform

Note: This is an optional step.

You can add the signals of the IPs to the simulation waveform to monitor the link initialization. For the ModelSim- Intel® FPGA Edition, include the signals of interest into the tb_top_waveform.do file in the simulation/mentor folder. Example:

add wave -noupdate -divider {RX LINK 1}
        add wave -noupdate -radix hexadecimal -radixshowbase 1 /tb_top/jesd204c_f_ed/u_j204c_f_ss/j204c_f_ip/intel_jesd204c_f_1/j204c_rx_avs_rst_n

A sample of the tb_top_waveform.do file is included in the design example available at the Design Store.
