Differences in the use of Random Number Generator IP Core between Straitx IV and Arria 10

Simulate the Random Number Generator IP Core with ModelSim. The same testbench, when choosing different devices, the simulation results of rand_num_data are quite different. (1) When stratix iv (EP4...

Hi,

Thanks for sharing the msim_setup.tcl. I notice that you have commented all the libraries compilation related lines in the msim_setup.tcl. Sorry for any confiusion, please try to comment out only the following lines as in one of my previous notes:

1. Change "QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR" to your local Quartus installation folder at line 114

2. Comment out "if ![ string match "*ModelSim ALTERA*" [ vsim -version ] ] {" at line 145 and its corresponding "}" at line 178

3. Commen out "if ![ string match "*ModelSim ALTERA*" [ vsim -version ] ] {" at line 186 and its corresponding "}" at line 215

Only 5 lines 114, 145, 178, 186 and 215 are to be commented out.

Please let me know if there is any concern. Thank you.

Hi,

​

I want to simulate the quartus project containing random IP core. I followed the steps of "processing-start-start testbench template writer" but couldn't generate the testbench.

​

Then I saw a paragraph in msim_setup.tcl, as shown in the figure. But I'm not sure how to use "ip-setup-simulation --quartus-project = <quartus project>". When I type it in the tcl console in quartus, there will appear errors. When I input it in modelsim-altera, there also many errors.

​

Looking forward to your reply, thank you!
