Hi.

I've followed the steps shown in AN351 and the simulation of my Nios II system run successfully in ModelSim. I've also followed Handbook Chapter 10 and generated a VCD script. I typed "source the-vcd-script.tcl" in the console window of ModelSim before running the simulation. But nothing was written in the vcd file. I've checked the vcd script and found that the names shown there didn't match with the objects in ModelSim.

So I'm just wondering if anyone has successfully estimated the power consumption of a Nios II system. If so, could you please give me some pointers?

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,
