Complete the following steps to run an RTL functional simulation:
1. Open your Quartus II project.
2. On the Tools menu, select Run Simulation Tool, then select RTL Simulation or Gate Level
Simulation.
3. Run Quartus II Analysis and Elaboration and re-instantiate control signals that you defined using the
In-System Sources and Probe Editor. The In-System Sources and Probe Editor can only access the pins
