About ModelSim Altera

Hi people,

I have a question about modelsim Altera. I need to simulate a display of 7 segments, but I don't find out a display to simulate. I don't have a board.

Does anybody know where I can simulate this display?

thanks

    Modelsim does not allow you to connect to physical boards - it just allows you to simulate your code to check the behaviour. So you can write functions to check the output is correct.

    there is a tricky way.

    modelsim can simulate NiosII behavior.

    read 7segment LED poart and printf the pattern like

    ------------

    -

    l l

    -

    l l

    - . <- this is 8.

    ------------

    I recommend to read modelsim's signal.

    the skill always needed on our job.
