I forget the args to sdf, its something like the hierarchy name of your device under test, and then the sdf filename. When I wrote a testbench with Verilog, should is be a.
Its those models that are contained in those libraries, and that is why the libraries are named after devices.Īnother question is: if I don't call Modelsim-Altera 6.5b from Quartus II, I finished my design in QuartusII firstly, then how can I do timing simulation (Gate level simulation) in ModelSim? Which files are need? I read the short tutorial with ModeSim-Altera, but it seems didn't give an example to do that. The directions likely apply to the Windows. Note: This tutorial is for the Linux toolset. It is the authors hope that after reading this tutorial the reader will be able to independently implement their own simple design such as Lab 1. You will verify your design on the Intel DE10-Lite board. You will use the Quartus schematic capture tool for design entry and ModelSim to simulate your design.
1.2 To automatically run EDA design input, synthesis, simulation, or timing analysis tools from the Quartus II software, you must specify the location of the executable file of the third-party EDA tool by clicking Options on the Tools menu and then clicking the EDA Tool.
When Quartus writes out a post-synthesis netlist, that netlist contains device specific VHDL or Verilog models so that Modelsim can simulate the netlist. This tutorial steps the reader through using the Quartus II software to implement a simple logic design. This lab tutorial introduces a few of the tools you will use in EEC 18 including the Quartus Prime design software, the Intel DE10-Lite board, and the ModelSim-Intel simulation software. This ModelSim version supports all Altera devices supported by Quartus II.
I know when we want to simulate a design in ModelSim, we should build a library, but when I run the ModelSim-Altera, there are large amount of built library like "cyclone", ''hardcopyii'', so what are these libraries used for? Once you have installed the Quartus Prime Verilog/SystemVerilog compiler and the ModelSim logic simulator software from the Software Downloads page, this tutorial will help you use these two programs to write, compile, and execute your projects.
