Simulation Flow

Description

Scripted Flow

Scripted simulation supports custom control of all aspects of simulation, such as custom compilation commands, or multi-pass simulation flows. Intel recommends use of a version-independent top-level simulation script that "sources" generated IP simulation setup scripts. Use the ip-setup-simulation utility to combine and update individual simulator setup scripts.

Specialized flows

Intel supports specialized flows for various design variations, including the following:

  • For simulation of Intel example designs, refer to the documentation for the example design or to the IP core user guide on the Altera website.
  • For simulation of Qsys Pro designs, refer to Creating a System with Qsys Pro chapter of the Quartus® Prime Handbook.
  • For simulation of designs that include the Nios II embedded processor, refer toAN 351: Simulating NiosII Embedded Processors Designs.
