Mif file Simulation in modelsim using nios IDE

Hi,

My core contains ROM (mif) file. I want to simulate it in modelsim software using Nios IDE. But Modelsim does not support mif file.

Please give some idea to solve this problem.

    if you use the Nios IDE, coud didn&#39;t need mif files. The Nios IDE generate an elf-file after compilation. Now you can start ModelSim simulation and the NIOS IDE generate an dat-file with your program and your data.

    An other way, you can convert your files in Quartus II.

    On the Altera HP is a video over "How I simulate the Nios core with ModelSim!".
