ModelSim testbench tutorial

Refer to the attached tutorial, page 2, the wave.do file is provided in the folder when I downloaded the tutorial. 

How to create this initial wave.do file if I am doing a new testbench for different circuit?

Thank you.

Hi,


I'm assuming the simulation method in the tutorial calls for a scripted flow, where you write your own .do file. This tutorial gives a quick-start on how to perform simulation on ModelSim: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/archives/ug-20093-17-0.pdf?wapkw=quick-start%20quartus%20pro

What you can do is use the .do file from the tutorial as a template and then edit to however you like.


A simpler simulation method is using the NativeLink flow, where you design and save the project on Quartus, then run an RTL simulation hence invoking ModelSim through Quartus. This way the .do file will be generated automatically. Here is the tutorial for that: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/archives/ug_gs_msa_qii-17-0.pdf?wapkw=quick-start%20quartus%20standard

When I followed the steps in https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/aym1499789502823.html#myk1498083534479

 

I get this error when I click on Tools > Run Simulation Tool > RTL Simulation.

Hi,


Does your project directory have a space in the pathname? Try changing the pathname such that there's no space in it. https://www.intel.com/content/altera-www/global/en_us/index/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/rd05272013_352.html
