Multiprocessor Simulation with Modelsim

Hi 

 

I would like to use modelsim to simulate a design with two processors that talk to each other through a FIFO memory. I have read the altera document 

www.altera.com/literature/an/an351.pdf (http://www.altera.com/literature/an/an351.pdf)  

and successfully simulated a uni-processor design, but I don't know why the dual-processor system don't show the correct result. I think the FIFO model is not being simulated correctly because the receiving processor won't print out anything on the screen. Any ideas? Has anyone tried something like this before? 

 

I'm using Quartus 7.2 and Modelsim 6.5.

Yes. I successfully simulated a uni processor design with modelsim and it works. I just need to know how to do the same thing for multi-processor systems.

Hello, 

i've been looking for an example to simulate a multiprocessor system on modelsim. do you have any idea how can i do this ? 

i am using Quartus ii 9.1 sp web edition 

Nios ii EDS 9.1
