Getting started with Altera IP Core

Sep 21, 2004 0 Replies

Hi,



I am trying to simulate the Example Instance of the Altera DDR SDRAM Controller IP Core.



As described in the DDR SDRAM MegaCoreFunction User Guide I type the following command under Modelsim to simulate the IP functional simulation model. set use_simgen_model 1 source example_controller_ddr_sdram_vsim.tcl



When running the tcl script I get error messages that several signals are not found, for example: # ** Error: No objects found matching "/DDR_SDRAM_top_tb/dut/local_rdata" # Executing ONERROR command at macro ./wave.do line 35



What is going wrong ?



One additional question:



What is the difference if I simulate the pre-compiled ModelSim VHDL libraries or if I simulate with an IP functional simulation model (DDR SDRAM MegaCore Function UserGuide page 43) ?



Maybe someone has tried to get startet with the IP Core and has some idea of what goes wrong ...



I am using QuartusII v. 4.1 SP1 and Modelsim Altera 5.8.c



Kind regards
