Altera provides models you can use for functional verification of the POS-PHY Level
4 MegaCore function within your design. A Verilog HDL testbench, including scripts
to run it, is also provided. This testbench, for use with the ModelSim-Altera simulator
or other simulator tools via NativeLink, demonstrates how to instantiate a model in a
design.
This section tells you how to use the testbench with the ModelSim simulator or with
other simulators via NativeLink.
For a list of the simulators that you can use with NativeLink, refer to the
Altera IP in Third-Party Simulation Tools
The testbench is in Verilog HDL, so you require a license to run mixed language
simulations to run the testbench with the VHDL model. If you edit any of your
variation’s clear-text Verilog HDL files, you must update the IP functional simulation
model before running the simulator. To update the model, run the quartus_sh -t
<variation_name>_refresh_model.tcl script in the Quartus II software.
To use the testbench with IP functional simulation models in the ModelSim simulator,
follow these steps:
1. Start the ModelSim simulator.
2. In the simulator, change the working directory to the location of the
3. To run the script type the following command at the simulator command prompt:
