Example Design
Customizing the Test Bench
Simulation Run Time
The default simulation run time is set to only 40 microseconds, which can be easily
extended by editing the simulation_run_time constant, set near the top of the
demonstration test bench file. For example, from the VHDL file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- **** The following value determines the simulations run time ****
----------------------------------------------------------------------
constant simulation_run_time : time := 40000 ns;
The test bench allows the DUT to run until the simulation time is exceeded; after this,
Ethernet frames already in the system are allowed to complete cleanly; then the test bench
reports the final statistics and end.
Changing Frame Data
The Ethernet Frame Stimulus and Ethernet Frame Checker modules can be set to produce
and check different Ethernet frames by changing the parameters sent to them. These
parameters are set in the Top-Level Example Design HDL. Editing this file allows a
Functional Simulation to immediately use the new settings. However, because these
modifications require logical changes, the Implementation Scripts must be re-run on the
design before running a Timing Simulation.
Please see the Top-Level Example Design HDL file for information about these frame-type
parameters. As an example, the following syntax is taken from the Verilog version of the
file and contains the syntax required to configure both the Legacy Ethernet Frame
Stimulus and Ethernet Frame Checker modules:
//---------------------------------
// Configure the Legacy frames used in this example design (the
// following parameters can be edited)
//---------------------------------
// Use minimum sized Ethernet frames (64-bytes total length)
parameter [10:0] LEGACY_FRAME_LENGTH = 11'd64;
// Set the Destination Address to be AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF
parameter [47:0] LEGACY_DEST_ADDR = 48'hFFEEDDCCBBAA;
// Set the Destination Address to be 00-11-22-33-44-55
parameter [47:0] LEGACY_SRC_ADDR = 48'h554433221100;
// Do not use VLAN fields
parameter LEGACY_HAS_VLAN = 1'b0;
// VLAN fields are not used so the following parameter is n/a
parameter [15:0] LEGACY_VLAN_DATA = 16'h0000;
// Use a Generic Type field
parameter [15:0] LEGACY_TYPE_FIELD = 16'h8000;
