Simulation will be automatically started. Logs are stored in the /log directory. tb_ethernet test is performed. RUNNING the simulation/Testbench in Ncsim: Go to the ethernet\sim\rtl_sim\ncsim_sim\run directory. Run the run_eth_sim_regr.scr script. Simulation is automatically started. Logs are stored in the /log directory. Before running the script for another time, run the clean script that deletes files from previous runs. tb_ethernet test is performed. Why are eth_cop.v, eth_host.v, eth_memory, tb_cop.v and tb_ethernet_with_cop.v files used for? Although the testbench does not include the traffic coprocessor, the coprocessor is part of the ethernet environment. eth_cop multiplexes two wishbone interface between 4 modules: - First wishbone master interface is connected to the HOST (eth_host) - Second wishbone master interface is connected to the Ethernet Core (for accessing data in the memory (eth_memory)). - First wishbone slave interface is connected to the Ethernet Core (for accessing registers and buffer descriptors). - Second wishbone slave interface is connected to the memory (eth_memory) so host can write data to the memory (or read data from the memory. tb_cop.c is a testbench just for the traffic coprocessor (eth_cop). tb_ethernet_with_cop.v is a simple testbench where all above mentioned modules are connected into a single environment. Few packets are transmitted and received. The "main" testbench is tb_ethernet.v file. It performs several tests (eth_cop is not part of the simulation environment).
