2.10.3.2. Custom Simulation Scripts
You can automate simulations by creating customized scripts. You can generate scripts manually. In addition, you can use NativeLink to generate a simulation script as a template and then make the necessary changes. The following table shows a list of script directories NativeLink generates.
Simulator |
Simulation File |
Use |
---|---|---|
Mentor Graphics* ModelSim* or QuestaSim* |
/simulation/ modelsim/modelsim_setup.do Or mentor/msim_setup.tcl |
Source directly with your simulator. Run do msim_setup.tcl, followed by ld_debug. If you have more than one IP, each IP has a dedicated msim_setup.tcl file. Make sure that you combine all the files included in the msim_setup.tcl files into one common msim_setup.tcl file. |
Aldec* Riviera Pro |
/simulation/ aldec/rivierapro_setup.tcl |
Source directly with your simulator . |
Synopsys* VCS |
/simulation/synopsys/vcs/vcs_setup.sh |
Add your testbench file name to this file to pass the testbench file to VCS using the –file option. If you specify a testbench file for NativeLink and do not choose to simulate, NativeLink generates a script that runs VCS. |
Synopsys VCS MX |
/simulation/synopsys/vcsmx/vcsmx_setup.sh |
Run this script at the command line using quartus_sh–t <script> . Any testbench you specify with NativeLink is included in this script. |
