各位前辈好：我按照官方的手册，生成了ddr4 IP的example design 后，去进行仿真我首先设置更改了 change directory，然后执行命令 vsim -do msim-setup.tcl ，返回一个 no design specified 的提示，再执行do msim_setup.tcl， modelsim 一点反应都没有，希望各位前辈指导我一下

Hi pp, You actually doing it right. After performing commands do msim_setup.tcl, you should perform the commands like below: dev_com com elab_debug add wave "ed_sim/*" transcript file transcript.txt run -all I already share the run.do file at my first comment there. It's contains the commands to simulate your design. In order to use it, Copy the run.do into your msim_setup.tcl directory Open Modelsim Change directory to your msim_setup.tcl directory Perform do run.do in the transaction windows Feel free to ask me when you still need some help. Thanks, Adzim

Hi pp,

I hope you understand about what BruC has stated in the previous reply.

I also need to translate your issue into English.

What I understand about your issue is that you want to simulate your design in Modelsim simulator but you encounter some errors.

If that right, so first thing you need to do is to set the path to correct directory where the source file is located there.

Usually the source file is located in <project file>/emif_0_example_design/sim/ed_sim/mentor/

When you performing the vsim -do msim_setup.tcl, it will bring up the Modelsim.

My step to run simulation in Modelsim:

Open the Modelsim software.

Set the source directory to the correct path of the msim_setup.tcl file directory.

Run run.do file that I've attached.

The run.do file contains the commands to compile and simulate your design.

You can run the commands inside the file you want to do it manually in Modelsim.

Hope that can solve your issue.

Thanks,

Adzim

  Hi adzim:
  
  some pictures cannot be shown，Let me add my steps
  
  1: change directory
  
  E:\my_information\programmer_software_code\quaruts\DDR4\emif_0_example_design\sim\ed_sim\mentor
  
  2: input command in modlesim, vism -do msim_setup.tcl
  
  3: input command in modlesim, do msim_setup.tcl
  
  And then there was no reaction，what should i do?

Hi pp,

Does the Modelsim shows any error in the transaction windows?
Or there is no reaction at all?

Can you confirm that the msim_setup.tcl is exists in your directory?

Which Quartus version that you used?

Have you tried to change the directory in the GUI?
You can change it by going to File>Change Directory...

Thanks,
Adzim

  answer: please look at the picture，when i input command do msim_setup.tcl
  
  Can you confirm that the msim_setup.tcl is exists in your directory?
  
  answer : yes,i'm sure the msim_setup.tcl is exists my directory, please look at the picture
  
  Have you tried to change the directory in the GUI?
  
  You can change it by going to File>Change Directory...
  
  answer : yes, I used exactly the method you said
  
  by the way, i'm using quartus 18.0 standard version

I set the case to closure.

You can file a new case if you got any problem.

Thanks for using Intel Community.

Hi Adzim;

i will use english to repeat my question，i want to simulate the official DDR4 IP CORE，but i meet some problems。I will explain my steps to simulate DDR4 IP step by step. Please help me to see if there is any problem with my steps。

first: i open the modelsim and change directory，please look at the picture

second ：I enter the following command in the modelsim command bar

third: I enter the following command in the modelsim command bar

And then there was no reaction，what should i do?

HI Adzim:

I have used the DO file you gave for simulation, but the simulated signal waveform is not available, and many signals are red lines

  Hi pp,
  
  Great to know.
  
  You should wait until the simulation finish.
  
  Also you need to select Full Calibration mode to see the full processes in your EMIF IP setting.
  
  Or else there might be skipped the calibration.
  
  But the Full Calibration mode will take longer time than Skip Calibration mode.
  
  I see that you can run the simulation now.
  
  I guess your problem is solved.
  
  Do you any further question?
  
  Thanks,
