Simulation

In the testbench ftop144_arc24_tb.vhd created, the case of an OVP event can be simulated and the individual operations in the logic can be traced. The necessary steps and settings for the two possible simulations are described here:

• Behavioral Simulation: The logical operations are simulated after synthesis.
• Post-Fit Simulation: The logical operations are simulated after fitting, which also includes signal propagation times.

Behavioral Simulation

1. Select Simulation and "Behavioral" in the drop-down menu

2. Right-click on "Simulate Behavioral Model" -> Process Properties

3. Run "Simulate Behavioral Model" and ISim Gui should open

Post-Fit Simulation

1. Select Simulation and "Post-Fit" in the drop-down menu

2. Right-click on "Simulate Post-Fit Model" -> Process Properties

Important: The "Waveform Database Filename" has to be set (ftop144_prod_F_tb_isim_fit.wdb)

3. Run "Simulate Post-Fit Model" and ISim Gui should open
