PCI Express HARD IP implementation using STRATIX IV FPGA

Hi,

I am working on an academic project in which i am using PCI Express HARD IP of stratix IV device (EP4SGX70DF29C3N). To implement this, i am using MegaWizard Plug-In Manager. I am using quartus II 11.0 sp1 (32-bit) software. I have generated the .vhd file and trying to simulate it on Altera's ModelSim 6.6d but unable to simulate. so anyone please help me ASAP.

Thank you,

with regards,

amit

    IIRC the PCIE BFM is not available in Quartus 11.0. You will need to upgrade to 12+ to get the BFM for simulation.

    hii,

    sorry to say but i didn't mean that i don't know to PRESS the SIMULATE BUTTON in modelsim. my problem is that i don't know the exact input values and their correct sequence to simulate it. i have already gone through the document "IP Compiler for PCI Express user guide" of altera. also i have reffered the "PCI Express High Performance Reference design" document of altera but in this they have used QSYS approach. but i want megawizard plug-in manager approach. so please give me a solution.
