13 years ago --- Quote Start --- Now I am confused on how the BFM is going to work. It seems like there is no way how to interface it with a testbench. --- Quote End --- A testbench contains a Qsys system and the BFM is a component in that system. --- Quote Start --- Also I would prefer to do the coding in VHDL and I cant find any VHDL for it. --- Quote End --- Altera doesn't support VHDL particularly well in Qsys ... Do you have access to Modelsim-SE? If so, you can use mixed language simulation. If you are using Modelsim-ASE, then you can probably use Quartus to synthesize to a .vo netlist and simulate that. In that case, you'd have to create the _hw.tcl component to point at the .vo file, not your VHDL file. I haven't needed to try this route, so perhaps others on the forum can provide their recommendations. Cheers, Dave
