In this case, weĪre testing "fibonacci_calculator" so the name of the new Verilog HDL File is "tb_fibonacci_calculator". The standard way of naming a testbench is to add a "tb_" in front of the name of the module you are testing.

This is very similar to writing testĬases in software programming. Double check the Save as type is Verilog HDL Files.Įvery project in hardware needs a testbench to generate all necessary inputs and read outputs to ensure they are correct. That one of the file names must match the name of the project. When you save it, you have to have the module name and file name match up. Once a new file is created, you are able to enter your code into it. Now that you have created your project, you can start coding. The simulation Tool Name should be ModelSim-Altera and Format is Verilog HDL. The next page asks to specify which tools you will be using. Be sure to use this device otherwise your area and timing numbers will be incorrect. After you have selected the files to add (if any), press Next.ĭesigning hardware relies on the capability of each FPGA. The next screen allows you to add files to the project is already created on your computer. In this screenshot, the project name is fibonacci_calculatorīecause there will be a fibonacci_calculator.v file in the project. The name of the project has to match the name of one of the files in the project. If you have a directory for this class, there should be sub-folders for each project. You cannot have multiple projects in the same directory. Select a directory where you want your project to be saved. You will be asked to select a working directory for the project. If you are starting a new project, click on Create a New Project. You will be greeted by the following welcome screen. SystemVerilog can be thought of as a "superset" of Verilog with a number of enhancements. In this class, we will be using SystemVerilog (which is just an extended version of Verilog) The examples below are in Verilog with a ".v" extension.
