Instructions

  1. Run the following commands:
    For FASTSIM + PIPE mode:
    Note: The Enable PIPE Mode Simulation option in the IP Parameter Editor must be enabled before generating the design example.
    sh vcsmx_setup.sh USER_DEFINED_COMPILE_OPTIONS="-kdb\ +define+gdrb_GDR_PCIE_SS_DV\ +define+GDR_FASTSIM_AIB_BYPASS\ 
    +define+RTLSIM\ +define+SSM_SEQUENCE\ -ignore\ initializer_driver_checks\ -sverilog\ +define+IP7581SERDES_UX_SIMSPEED\ 
    " USER_DEFINED_ELAB_OPTIONS="+vcs+lic+wait\ -full64\ -ignore\ initializer_driver_checks\ -hsopt=gates\ -debug_pp\ 
    -debug_access+all\ "USER_DEFINED_SIM_OPTIONS="" | tee simulation_log
    
    Note: The command above is a single-line command.
  2. A successful simulation ends with the following message,
    "Simulation stopped due to successful completion!"
    in the simulation.log file that was generated.
Note: To run a simulation in interactive mode, use the following steps: (if you already generated a simv executable in noninteractive mode, delete the simv and simv.daidir)
  1. Open the vcsmx_setup.sh file and add a debug option to the VCS command:
    vcs -debug_access+all
  2. Compile the design example:

    For FASTSIM + PIPE mode:
    Note: The Enable PIPE Mode Simulation option in the IP Parameter Editor must be enabled before generating the design example.
    sh vcsmx_setup.sh USER_DEFINED_COMPILE_OPTIONS="-kdb\ +define+gdrb_GDR_PCIE_SS_DV\ +define+GDR_FASTSIM_AIB_BYPASS\ 
    +define+RTLSIM\ +define+SSM_SEQUENCE\ -ignore\ initializer_driver_checks\ -sverilog\ +define+IP7581SERDES_UX_SIMSPEED\ 
    " USER_DEFINED_ELAB_OPTIONS="+vcs+lic+wait\ -full64\ -ignore\ initializer_driver_checks\ -hsopt=gates\ -debug_pp\ 
    -debug_access+all\ " USER_DEFINED_SIM_OPTIONS="" SKIP_SIM=1
    Note: The command above is a single-line command.
  3. Start the simulation in interactive mode:
    simv -gui &
