Simulating FiFo IP using Quartus Pro 23.3
Hello,
I am attempting to simulate the Fifo IP using the Questa Starter Edition. I am targeting the Stratix 10 GX. It is imperative that I use Quartus Pro and Questa SE to perform these simulations. Here are the steps I am taking,
Steps Im taking: Quartus Prime Pro 23.3, Questa Free Standard
- New Project Wizard
- Dir: D:/Work/QuestaSims/SingleClk24to24Fifo
- Name: Fifo
- Top: FifoTop
- Stratix 10 GX
- No added files
- Select “Questa Intel FPGA edition” for simulation
- Open Fifo IP editor
- Everything Default
- Generate HDL (VHDL)
- Selected Model Sim for simulator script
- Generate TestBench
- Selected VHDL
- Close Parameter editor
- Add tb qsys to project files
- Click "Generate Simulator Setup scripts" under tools
Its at this point that I am unable to make any more progress. I have followed the Questa tutorials provided by Siemans, in the tutorial documents found within the questa install directory. However, these don't account for the added files generated by the IP. I am wondering what steps I need to take after these, so that I have all the needed files to begin simulation?
I have referenced these documents
- Introduction to Intel® FPGA IP Cores
- Intel® Stratix® 10 Embedded Memory User Guide
- Advanced Platform Designer (Part 1): Simulation
I attached an example simulation with the DCFIFO IP. This is run with different testbench and with the IP standalone only (without the fifo_top.v).
I also add usedw signal in it.
You may refer this as a guidelines.Best Regards,
