3.2.2.2. Steps to run the Simulation in Synopsys* VCS*

  1. In agilex5_hps_lwh2f_simulation_tb/agilex5_hps_lwh2f_simulation_tb/sim/synopsys/vcs/vcs_setup.sh, modify the “QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR” to point to the correct Quartus® Prime installation path. (This step is not required if your design is generated per RTL Simulation Setup Scripts).
  2. In the top directory, launch the VCS* simulator with command:
    bash vcs_run.sh 64
    The standard output from the VCS* test and simulation process is printed out on the terminal.
  3. To view the signal waveforms, navigate to the VCS* directory:
    cd agilex5_hps_lwh2f_simulation_tb/ \
    agilex5_hps_lwh2f_simulation_tb/sim/synopsys/vcs
  4. Launch the VCS* GUI using the command:
    simv -gui &
  5. In the GUI window, you may add in waveform signals by selecting right-click on the signal group, and choosing Add to Waves > New Wave View.

  6. A new Waveform View window is launched. From the window, click on the “Start/Continue” button or press “F5” key to run the waveform simulation.

  7. When the simulation is completed, you can zoom in to view the waveform of each signal.
