Experience with Simulating RocketIO in Modelsim

Does anyone have any experience simulating RocketIO in Modelsim SE via use of SmartModels. I am trying to stimulate the TXP and TXN pins of the MGT via use of a .do file. Is there are proper way to do this, or is the following acceptable:

restart -f force RocketIO_10mhz 0 0ns, 1 50ns -repeat 100ns run 2us run 50ns force RXNIn1_Data 1 force RXPIn1_Data 0 run 100ns force RXNIn1_Data 1 force RXPIn1_Data 0 run 100ns force RXNIn1_Data 1 force RXPIn1_Data 0 run 100ns force RXNIn1_Data 0 force RXPIn1_Data 1 run 100ns force RXNIn1_Data 0 force RXPIn1_Data 1 run 100ns force RXNIn1_Data 0 force RXPIn1_Data 1 run 100ns force RXNIn1_Data 1 force RXPIn1_Data 0 run 100ns force RXNIn1_Data 1 force RXPIn1_Data 0 run 100ns force RXNIn1_Data 0 force RXPIn1_Data 1 run 100ns force RXNIn1_Data 1 force RXPIn1_Data 0 run 100ns

p.s. The input clock to the MGT is running at 40Mhz

Hi Timothy,

if you really want to punish yourself then you can work with the force-commands.

However, if you want to work with the Rocket-IOs properly then the only real way is to build a testbench which models your system.

This means:

- create the clock-signals in the testbench

- build a system that lives on itself as far as possible and is not dependent on force-commands.

Cheers,
