How to do Simulation for PCI Express ?

Hi,

I have downloaded the PCI Express (PCIE) '.tar' from the Altera site. After that I successfully did compilation of the PCIE using Quartus.

Now i want to do the simulation of PCIE in Questa,

Could anyone tell me how to do the simulation ??

Following are the files in the current directory after compilation:

  db/                            sopc_builder_log.txt    
  top_bb.v                       top.fit.rpt    
  top.map.rpt                    top.qsf     
  top.sof                        hip_s4gxes_gen1_x1.qar  
  stp_gen1_x1.stp                top.bsf   
  top.fit.smsg                   top.map.summary 
  top.qws                        top.sta.rpt
  incremental_db/                top_advisor.ipa

  top.pin                        top.sdc   
  top.sta.summary                pcie_seed_sweep.tcl  
  top.archive.rpt                top.done    
  top.flow.rpt                   top.ppf

    With what tool do you want to simulate it? I believe only ModelSim is supported.

    From what I can see you need to run the simulation file top_examples/chaining_dma/testbench/runtb.do in ModelSim
