Honored ContributorHi all,
May I know whether we can do simulation of C/C++ application program for Nios II in IDE without using FPGA board ? I had read the introduction and tutorials regarding using Nios IDE but all require the C/C++ program to be downloaded into the FPGA board in order to view the output or debug. Is there a way to do the simulations without using the board? Please help. Thank you in advance.
Honored ContributorIn the Nios II IDE, you right click on your project, select "Run as", and then select "Nios II ModelSim" (instead of "Nios II Hardware" to download it to a board).
Honored ContributorThanks for the reply. But I am having a problem using the modelsim. Lets say I am using the application to read switches and memory, how would I give the appropriate input to it? Meaning how do I simulate I had toggle certain switches? Is it that I have to prepare some test vector first?
Honored ContributorYes. The test bench associated to your system is at the end of the vhd file which the same name as your SOPC system. Add your vector test here.
Honored ContributorThank you.
