Simulating Zynq Processing System

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hi,
I'm quite new to Xilinx tools and everything around them, so this might be a stupid question ;)
I'd like to simulate my ZedBoard/Zynq Design with custom Peripherals, but somehow, Vivado isn't generating Simulation sources/files for the processing system (the actual Dual ARM Cortex-A9-whatsoever IP core).

To verify the behavior of my Component (CPU(IP) <-> AXI Bus Bridge(my code) <-> Slave Peripheral(my code)), I wrote a Testbench instantiating the arm wrapper (the one generated by Vivado when clicking 'Create VHDL Wrapper...') and a (System-)Verilog DDR3 model from Micron.

When running Behavioral Simulation in ModelSim (invoking through Vivado), Modelsim keeps warning me that the component instance "processing_system7_1 : arm_processing_system7_1_0" is not bound. (My Block diagram is called arm.bd; that's where the 'arm_' prefix comes from).

How do i get Vivado to export the IP sources for Simulation?
How do you guys simulate your Zynq-Design?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Stefan

    It's been a week and I still couldn't figure out how to simulate the PS.
    Has nobody ever tried to do that?

    Did you install the patch?

    Thanks for the response!
    I installed the patch as mentioned on the support page,
    but I'm getting the exact same result.
    I tried creating the project from scratch (again), component is still "not bound".
    Do I have to switch to Verilog to make this work?

    By the way, Vivado has no problem synthesizing the entire project. Also, the sub-block called "processing_system7_1(.xci)" of my .bd is illustrated properly and doesn't behave as the one mentioned in the support page you posted (orange box in Hierarchy View).

    I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what the problem is. I suggest you open a case with Xilinx Support and/or post to the Xilinx Forum -- www.xilinx.com/support

    Bryan, did you ever simulate the PS?
    Maybe I'm doing something wrong in my project...
    If you got it running, could you send me an example project?

    Thanks,
    Stefan

    Hi,

    I found this:
    https://secure.xilinx.com/webreg/ clickthrough.do?filename=axi_bfm_ug_examples.tar.gz

    I haven't verified the functionality yet, but this seems to be a good alternative to simulating the entire PS.

    Hi ,
    has any one tried simulating PS side of the ZYNQ comprising DDR3SDRAM . If yes please share me the procedure.

    regards
