14 years agotestbench and signals
as i'm new on vhdl i was wondering is there any possible way to include the signals inside the architecture in the testbench .. i built a structural design and the only output that really matters was all the signals and i want to include them in my testbench but i don't know how do i need to define them in the entity or there is another way ..
thnx very much :)4 Replies

There's a Modelsim example in VHDL in this thread:

thnx alot - Altera_Forum

--- Quote Start --- do i need to install another program ? --- Quote End --- You can install Modelsim if you want to run the code I provided using the scripts I provided. However, in your case, just look at the testbench source code. --- Quote Start --- is there another way that i can use in the program i'm working on ? --- Quote End --- Sure. The example is written in VHDL. Just use whatever commands Active HDL uses to build the source, and then you can run the testbench. Cheers, Dave - Altera_Forum
