6.4. Simulating the Design Example
You can simulate the design by running a simulation script from the command prompt.
Note: The vertical active size is fixed to 96 lines. As a result, VTOTAL must be configured to (V1S_VEND + 96) when generating the simulation for it to proceed correctly. This only relates to the simulation design example and does not affect synthesis or simulation of the IP in user systems.
- At the command prompt, change the working directory of your preferred simulator based on the table below.
- Run the simulation scripts for the supported simulator.
Simulator Working Directory Command QuestaSIM* ed_sim/sim/mentor vsim -c -do run_msim_setup.tcl Riviera-PRO* ed_sim/sim/aldec vsim -c -do run_rivierapro_setup.tcl VCS* MX ed_sim/sim/synopsys/vcsmx source sim.sh Xcelium* ed_sim/sim/xcelium source xcelium_setup.sh
A successful simulation displays the following message:
# dsi2_ed_sim_tb: SUCCESS: Test has completed! # Simulation passed.
After successful completion, you can analyze the results.
