16 years ago --- Quote Start --- I do most of my simulation in ModelSim, but for smaller designs or quick functional simulations, I really like the convenience of the Quartus II simulator. I do have two questions though: 1) Is it possible to simulate entities in my project that are not the top-level entity? Right now, whenever I create a new vwf file, and look for pins on the node-finder, I only see those for the top-level entity. Is there anywhere I can specify that I wish to simulate one of the lower-entities in the design? 2) If my entity has multiple architectures, is there any way to specify which of the architectures I wish to be used for simulation? In ModelSim, I add a line to my testbench such as: for all : divider use WORK.divider (sequential) Is there any similar setting for the Quartus II simulator? Any help on these questions would be greatly appreciated. --- Quote End --- Hi, first of all, are aware that the simulator is discontinued. It will be removed with the next Quartus version? For lower level enties you should find nodes and registers. I'm not a VHDL expert, I'm not sure how Quartus supports configurations. Kind regards GPK
