3.1.3.3. Synopsys* VCS* MX Simulation Steps
- Locate your top-level simulation model, TopLevel.v or TopLevel.vhdl, which you have created.
- Locate the vcsmx_setup.sh script and execute the simulator in the <project directory>/<Platform Designer design name>/sim/synopsys/vcsmx/.
- Create a new file my_vcsmx_setup.sh and write the following content to the file.
source <path_to>/vcsmx_setup.sh \ TOP_LEVEL_NAME=”’-top <top_level_name>’” \ # example: TOP_LEVEL_NAME=“’-top TopLevel’” \ SKIP_ELAB=0 \ SKIP_SIM=0 \ SKIP_FILE_COPY=0 \ SKIP_DEV_COM=0 \ SKIP_COM=0 \ USER_DEFINED_SIM_OPTIONS="-debug_access" \ USER_DEFINED_ELAB_OPTIONS=""
- Set up your developer environment with the proper resources. The Synopsys* VCS* MX simulator requires an end user proprietary license.
- Run the simulation script to start simulation runtime.
sh my_vcsmx_script.sh
Since no testbench is added, it only shows that all the HPS IP simulation files are successfully compiled and elaborated using vcsmx.
