b. Run the following command to set up the required libraries, to compile the generated IP Functional
simulation model, and to exercise the simulation model with the provided testbench:
run_<variation_name>_tb.tcl
For more information about simulating Altera IP cores, refer to Simulating Altera Designs in volume
3 of the Quartus II Handbook.
Use the simulation models only for simulation and not for synthesis or any other purposes. Using
these models for synthesis creates a nonfunctional design.
Note:
Simulation Model Files
Previously, the Triple-Speed Ethernet MegaCore function generates a <variation_name>.vho or
<variation_name>.vo file for VHDL or Verilog HDL IP functional simulation model.
For the new Triple-Speed Ethernet MegaCore function created in Quartus II ACDS 13.0, the simulation
model will be generated using the industrial standard IEEE simulation encryption.
Table 10-2 lists the scripts available for you to compile the simulation model files in a standalone flow.
