Honored Contributorsimulation with 3rd party tool
Has anyone had success trying to simulate the entire nios system with a 3rd party simulator?
What problems were faced? Workarounds? Are there documents that details how to perform these tasks somewhere? The only documents I've seen so far describes how to simulate with modelsim only and even those require srcipts that load a bunch of stuff in the background in order to make it work. I just need a simple doc that outlines the steps like loading the correct libraries, or how to load in a simple nios program and add that to the simulation cases, etc... Any ideas?1 Reply

--- Quote End --- I have also tried to simulate in a 3rd part simulator (ActiveHDL) but so far have not had any luck. At the moment I have compiled a simple design - the eval 1C12 small with the hello_led example. It compiles fine and runs on the hardware. I have managed to compile the VHDL under ActiveHDL but get an index out of range error 32 when the range is 31 to 0. But I will keep trying. I'd be keen to hear if anyone has got this going also.
