How to use Avalon-MM Master BFM?

Hi Dave,

I'm having problems setting up my Modelsim to simulate a Qsys project. My issue is basically my testbench doesn't appear to be controlling the BFM master. I used the avalon_write and avalon_read tasks, but i can't see any bus activity from the Avalon bus.

Anyway, I found this thread and tried following your tutorial to try to understand how the testbench controls the BFM master, but i'm also running into issues. From your tutorial, section 4.5.2 Avalon-MM Master BFM, i can run upto the "com" command with no issues. But when i run this:

vlog -sv $TUTORIAL/hdl/qsys_system/test/qsys_system_bfm_master_tb.sv -L qsys_system_bfm_master

I get these errors:

# ** Error: (vlog-19) Failed to access library 'qsys_system_bfm_master' at "qsys_system_bfm_master".# ** Error: h:/temp/altera_jtag_to_avalon_mm_tutorial/hdl/qsys_system/test/qsys_system_bfm_master_tb.sv(48): Could not find the package (verbosity_pkg). Design read will continue, but expect a cascade of errors after this failure. Furthermore if you experience a vopt-7 error immediately before this error then please check the package names or the library search paths on the command line.# ** Error: h:/temp/altera_jtag_to_avalon_mm_tutorial/hdl/qsys_system/test/qsys_system_bfm_master_tb.sv(49): Could not find the package (avalon_mm_pkg).

Furthermore if you experience a vopt-7 error immediately before this error then please check the package names or the library search paths on the command line.# C:/altera/13.1/modelsim_ae/win32aloem/vlog failed.

Any suggestion? I'm using Quartus 64 bit version 13.1.0 and Modelsim AE 10.1d.

Thanks,

Joel
