Simulating a8259 Model
with Visual Software
June 2000, ver.
Introduction
Altera® intellectual property (IP) MegaCorefunctions developed pre-tested Altera, optimized specific Altera device architectures. test-drive these functions free OpenCorefeature downloading functions from Altera site installing them your UNIX workstation. help your evaluation, Altera also provides Visual simulation models these functions. Visual software from Innoveda lets create simulation models that used third-party VHDL Verilog simulation tools. Altera distributes Visual software user along with Visual models Altera functions. Altera's Visual models parameterizable, level, functional simulation models. models instantiate Altera your design simulate your choice simulation tool. This user guide describes install Visual simulation model Altera a8259 programmable interrupt controller. Before using a8259 model, must download install Visual software, which available free from Altera MegaStore site Follow instructions Installing Visual Software User Guide. Altera recommends that also obtain a8259 Programmable Interrupt Controller Data Sheet from Altera site. This data sheet describes technical specifications a8259 function.
