Need Help Using Altera Avalon MM Master BFM

Question

Hello, I recently downloaded the Avalon MM master and slave BFM file from Altera and I am attempting to utilize my own custom IP core to act as a slave to the master bfm file. I wish to know if there are examples or if someone knows of a guide I can use to set up/connect my IP core using Qsys and simulate the connection using ModelSIM.

This is the link I used to download the master and slave bfm: https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/design-examples/design-software/simulation/exm-avalon-verification-ip.html

Any help would be much appreciated.

Even easier: in Qsys, create a system consisting of just your custom component and export all of its interfaces. Then go to the Generate menu and select to generate a testbench system using the Standard option. This will create a special system with your DUT and all BFMs required to simulate your design, set up based on the exported interfaces. Files to help with setting up and running the simulation are also included. See this online training:
