Problems with design example Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC Intel FPGAIP

Hello, thank you for your help, I ran it about an hour, I stopped manually since I thought it was frozen. I will try to run the simulation again. When you talk about Modelsim SE you mean to Stater Edition? Because that is the one I have install already

HI,

Good luck in trying again. My sim run is in progress as well. I will check the result in tomorrow.

Nope, I am not referring to starter edition. That's the Intel FPGA free edition with even lower performance.

I am referring to Special Edition (SE). More powerful and expensive edition. You can checkout below link.

For further detail, you may want to consult back Mentor Graphic.

Thanks.

HI,

I let sim run overnight. Just checked the sim log and it's passing after around 7 hours run.

The actual sim run time may vary on your side but hopefully thing works out on your side as well.

Thanks.

Hello, I suscessfully ran the simulation after 4 hours. !

Thanks for your support!

Now I can see Statistics on the cmd but is there any other output like waveforms or so on. How can I interact with the simulation results?

HI,

Good. Things is working on your side as well.

From my end, I did able to see the Modelsim waveform window pop up as well but I am not sure when it pop up.

Why not you let the sim run finish at your end first to see whether the Modelsim Waveform Window pop up or not ?

Thanks.

Hello, the windows waveform did not pop-up, I re-ran the simulation just to be sure. The result says Simulation PASSED so it ends but no waveforms shown

Hi,

This is weird.

Btw, did you click "NO" on the sim pop up windows when it asked you whether do you want to finish or complete the sim after sim passed ?

Also, couple of things that you can check in example design folder

• LL10G_10GBASER\simulation\ed_sim\mentor

1. Do you see the sim waveform file (vsim.wlf) ?
2. Do you see msim_wave.do file ? This is the script to add design signals to Modelsim Waveform
3. You can also check tb_run.tcl script to make sure it execute the wave.do file. The command is just do wave.do

Ultimately, you can also edit the tb_run.tcl script to stop auto run (comment out do wave.do and run -all) to manually run the command in Modelsim console to test it.

Thanks.

Hello, no there is no pop up windows i didn't click anything.

1.Yes I see it

2. yes, I see it

3. this is the script:

# Add waveform

do $tb_top_waveform

# Run the simulation

run -all

How i have to modify it to run it manually?

Hi,

If you can see the waveform output file (vsim.wlf) generated in your sim project, you are all set.

I am guessing you didn't enable or pull out the sim waveform windows during sim run. Not sure why the sim waveform window doesn't pop up automatically.

Now, you can go back to Modelsim

• File -> Open -> vsim.wlf
• It should bring you to sim run windows
• Right click on the tb_top -> add to -> wave -> all items in region
• The sim waveform window will pop up with all signals activity captured

Thanks.

Hi,

It's been a while since I last heard from you.

Hopefully your modelsim is working as expected now with my debug suggestion.

For now, I am setting this case to closure.

Thanks.
