Creating the reference dataset

We'll start by running a simulation and saving it to a dataset. This dataset will become the reference dataset when we set up the comparison.

1. Start by creating a new directory for this exercise. Create the directory and copy all of the files from \<install_dir>\modeltech\examples\mixedHDL to the new directory.

Make sure the new directory is the current directory. Do this by invoking ModelSim from the new directory or by selecting the File > Change Directory command from the ModelSim Main window.

2. At the ModelSim prompt in the Transcript pane, run the compare.do DO file.



do compare.do 

This DO file does the following:

• Creates and maps the work library
• Compiles the Verilog and VHDL files
• Runs the simulation and saves the results to a dataset named "gold.wlf"

Feel free to open the DO file and take a look at its contents.
