Performing a Timing Simulation with DVE & QuickSim II Software
After you have compiled a design with the MAX+PLUS® II Compiler, you can prepare the MAX+PLUS IIgenerated EDIF Output File (.edo) with Mentor Graphics Design Viewpoint Editor (DVE) and simulate it with the Mentor Graphics QuickSim II software.
To simulate an EDIF Output File with the QuickSim II software, follow these steps:
- Be sure to set up the working environment correctly, as described in Setting Up the MAX+PLUS II/Mentor Graphics/Exemplar Logic Working Environment.
- Generate an EDIF Output File for your project, as described in Compiling Projects with MAX+PLUS II Software or Using the Altera Schematic Express (sch_exprss) Utility.
- If you used the Altera Schematic Express (sch_exprss) utility to process your design, skip to step 5. Otherwise, go to step 4.
- In the Navigator window, select your project's icon, press Button 3, and choose Open max2_enr to read your project's EDIF Output File with the ENRead utility. You can also start ENRead software by typing
max2_enr  at the UNIX prompt.
- Select your project's folder, press Button 3, and choose Open max2_ave to open DVE, which will prepare your project's simulation component for QuickSim II timing simulation. DVE automatically generates an appropriately named viewpoint for your project. You can also start DVE by typing
max2_ave at the UNIX prompt.
- Select your project's folder, press Button 3, and choose Open max2_qsim to simulate your project and its DVE viewpoint with QuickSim II software. You can also start QuickSim II by typing
max2_qsim at the UNIX prompt.
- In the Altera QuickSim dialog box, type the name of your project's viewpoint in the Viewpoint Name box. Select Timing as the Timing Mode. Select the Max timing option. Choose Scale Factor for Delay Scale, and be sure that
0.1 is specified for the Value. Choose OK.
 |
If the delay scale value is not set to 0.1 (i.e., divided by ten), the QuickSim II software will not reflect the correct timing simulation values. |
