system simulation and verification methods (NIOS)

what ways and approaches are there to do system level simulation? i have a nios system module and a user logic which have been connected together via the avalon bus. can simulation be done using quartus II?


Hi,

Yes, you can simulate Nios using the Quartus II simulator. For more advanced simulation (if you want to view code execution, for example), there is additional simulation support built into the Nios kit for using ModelSim (both ModelSim OEM version which comes with a Quartus subscription), or the full version. Please have a look at Altera app note 189

for instructions & a couple of simulation tutorial designs with Nios & ModelSim.
