MODELSIM TESTBENCH PRO
ModelSim Pro ME delivered within the Libero SoC 12.x has a bug. It occurs also with some other example designs, so it is likely that the Would be pretty difficult, since Vendor-dependent BFM infrastructure isĤGB & 32bit rings a bell! My question was whether it is a tool bug orĬan someone create a memory leak at the testbench?

That sums up all the normal testbenches in VHDL. Force: processĮnd process The output of simple finite testbench. And, it will also stop when ‘i’ will reach the predefined number of the clock cycles. Now, we create another process to inject inputs. When it reaches a certain predefined number, it will terminate the process. And we also want to make it finite so we use a signal that we have declared earlier to keep a record of the number of clocks cycles. As we know a process without a sensitivity list has to be stopped with a wait keyword. This will run your simulation for 100 nanoseconds. To run the simulation, click the Icon with a little piece of paper and a down arrow next to the 100 ns time. clock:processĪfter that, we create a process for the clock. All of the test bench signals have been added as signals your can monitor. a a,Īfter that, we create a process (‘clock’ here) to generate a clock of period T/2. We do this to ensure that we give proper time, for output to become stable and observable. Only after a delay, we give the next set of values. Simulating in ModelSim-Intel Using a Testbench A very powerful debugging technique is to simulate a design using either functional or timing simulation. After providing one input value, we give a delay (20 nanoseconds here). Then we start injecting input values to signal.Īlso, we are using the after clause to create delays. For our 4×1 Mux example: SelectLines(0) a, timing simulation, say that Quartus Prime is used for synthesis and ModelSim is used for simulation. In the repetitive pattern method of generation, we dedicate one statement to generate only one bit. 61 end process 62 63 end architecture testbench. Let’s try them using both methods of stimulus generation and compare them. You can use ModelSim-Altera Wave Editor to draw your test input waveforms and generate a Verilog. Case 2) Sometimes in modelsim.ini file UCDB File name will be commented in that case we have to save UCDB File explicitly after vsim command. To test it, we will need to apply sixteen (2 4) input combinations. Case 1) By default in modelsim.ini file to Name of UCDB file will be threre, If it is there, it will create one file filename.ucdb. 2.2 Compile the Testbench Compile IncTb.vhd using the steps from 'Compile a Design'. Output : out std_logic_vector(3 downto 0) SelectLines : in std_logic_vector(1 doownto 0) Port( Input : in std_logic_vector(3 downto 0) There are two ways to generate stimulus inside the testbench:Īssuming the entity of the multiplexer as entity 4x1MUX is We have two ways to generate an in-program stimulus. In previous chapters, we generated the simulation waveforms using modelsim, by providing the input signal values manually if the number of input signals. The next step is to generate a stimulus, or you may say sequences for inputs. We also initialize some signals because we might need to read the values we’ve previously assigned. So we use signals for internal calculations and in the end, assign the signal value to the port. Inside the architecture of testbench, we declare a component which is actually our DUT. Also, the entity describes the input and output of the circuit that we are testing.

It is there because as said earlier, a testbench is also a VHDL program.
