axi_ad9361 IP testing

Hi,

Thank you for the support from your side, I am having an idea of what has to be done, although I would really appreciate if you could help me understand a little more. 

As per my understanding the testbenches have its own project source and does not require any project as reference for carrying out simulation.  I need to give waveforms during simulation or in testbench soucre test_program.sv.

Is my understanding correct? If so, the steps for cloning clearly states folder structure to be :

• library
• projects
• testbenches

I have followed the same for cloning the testbenches but it doesnt actually matter cause the testbench is having its own source ?

I  would really appreciate to get to know about this test code, but I have not been able to find any source for it. Any link or data about this testcode would be of great help.

Thanks & Regards

Yes, the folder structure is correct.

The testbenches uses the IPs from the HDL repo and are automatically built when you do "make" in a testbench project.

The Vivado flow copies the IPs source into the created testbench project, that means, vivado will "copy" the IP sources to these paths:

hdl/testbenches/<TESTBENCH>/runs/cfg*/cfg*.ip_user_files/bd/test_harness/ipshared/*

hdl/testbenches/<TESTBENCH>/runs/cfg*/cfg*.gen/sources_1/bd/test_harness/ipshared/*

After the tb project is created, editing the hdl/library/<IP_CORE> sources won't automatically update the test program in execution, you have to either do "make" again (preferred) or patch the folders mentioned above (experienced). The only exception are the test_program.sv files.

The testbench project may or may not use a hdl/projects/<PROJECT> source code; it really depends on the requirements and on what is being tested.
