Digital Electronics and Design with VHDL

A ModelSim Tutorial

Objective: This tutorial, which is a complement to Chapter 24, briefly describes ModelSim, from Mentor Graphics, a popular simulator for VHDL- and Verilog-based designs. The tutorial is based on ModelSim-Altera Web Edition 6.1g, available free of charge from www.altera.com.

The presentation is divided into two parts, as follows:

Part I: Simulation Procedure

In this part of the tutorial the simulation files are entered directly into the simulation environment, and the steps needed to process them are described.

Part II: Creating ...
