3.1.3.3. Synopsys* VCS* MX Simulation Steps

  1. Locate your top-level simulation model, TopLevel.v or TopLevel.vhdl, which you have created.
  2. Locate the vcsmx_setup.sh script and execute the simulator in the <project directory>/<Platform Designer design name>/sim/synopsys/vcsmx/.
  3. 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=""
    
  4. Set up your developer environment with the proper resources. The Synopsys* VCS* MX simulator requires an end user proprietary license.
  5. 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.
