For more information on the testbench, BFM, and included example
application, see
You can use the Quartus II software to compile the example designs. Refer
to Quartus II Help for instructions on compiling your design. In the
Quartus II software, open the Simple DMA example design project that
you created in
c:\altera\pcie_project\pex_examples\simple_dma\pex_example_top
This example Quartus II project has the recommended synthesis, fitter,
and timing analysis settings for the parameters chosen in the variation
used in this example design.
To verify the PCI Express assignments in your project, follow these steps:
1.
2.
or
for the chaining DMA example design, change to the directory:
<variation name>_examples/chaining_dma
Click OK.
In the ModelSim Transcript window, execute the command do
runtb.do, which sets up the required libraries, compiles the netlist
files, and runs the testbench. The ModelSim Transcript window
displays messages from the BFM reflecting various values read from
the variation file’s configuration space. These messages reflect the
values entered during the parameterize step of the walkthrough.

Choose Start Compilation (Processing menu) in the Quartus II
software.
After compilation, expand the Timing Analyzer or TimeQuest
Timing Analyzer folder in the Compilation Report panel by clicking the
+ icon next to the folder name. Note whether the timing constraints were
successfully met from this section of the Compilation Report.
PCI Express Compiler Version 6.1
Altera also provides the DOS command window batch file
runtb.bat and the shell script runtb.sh to run the testbench
in ModelSim command-line mode.
