Simulation ------------------------- - -There are two simulation environments that can be used to validate the code. -The verilog simulation is very basic and meant for those who want to look -at how the MAC operates without going through the effort of setting up SystemC. -The SystemC environment is more sophisticated and covers all features of the MAC. - - - ------------------------- -2.1 Verilog Simulation ------------------------- - -To run the verilog simulation, compile all project files under rtl/verilog along with -top level testbench file: - - - tbench/verilog/tb_xge_mac.v - -There is a Modelsim "do" file called "sim.do" under sim/verilog for those using Modelsim. -Once all the files are compiled, start simulation using entity "tb". - - -The verilog simulation reads packets from "packet_tx.txt" and writes them to the MAC -transmit fifo using the packet transmit interface (pkt_tx_data). As frames become -available in the transmit fifo, the MAC calulates the CRC and sends them out on xgmii_tx. -The xgmii_tx interface is looped-back to xgmii_rx in the testbench. The frames are thus -processed by the MAC receive engine and stored in the receive fifo. The testbench reads -frames from the receive interface (pkt_rx_data) and prints out the results. - - - ------------------------- -2.2 SystemC Simulation ------------------------- - -In order to use the SystemC environment it is required to first install SystemC from -www.systemc.org. Free membership may be required to download the core SystemC files. - -The testbench was developed and tested with Verilator, a free HDL simulator that -compiles verilog into C++ or SystemC code. You can download Verilator from -www.veripool.org. You also need to install SystemPerl and Verilog-Perl for waveform -traces. - - -Once all the required tools are installed: - - - Move to directory sim/systemc - - - Type "./compile.sh" - - - Type "./run.sh" - - -If the simulation is running correctly you should see messages from the scoreboard -as packets are transmited and received on the various interfaces. - -Simulation output: - - ----------------------- - Packet size - ----------------------- - SCOREBOARD XGMII INTERFACE TX (60) - SCOREBOARD XGMII INTERFACE TX (60) - SCOREBOARD PACKET INTERFACE TX (50) - SCOREBOARD XGMII INTERFACE TX (60) - SCOREBOARD PACKET INTERFACE TX (51) - SCOREBOARD XGMII INTERFACE TX (60) - SCOREBOARD PACKET INTERFACE RX (TX SIZE=60 RX SIZE=60) - ... - - - |
