Simulator Configuration Guide for Synopsys Models

Simulator Configuration GuideChapter 6: Using NC-VHDL with Synopsys ModelsAttentionYou can omit steps 5 and 6, below, if you already performed those tasks asdescribed in “Using SmartModels with NC-VHDL” on page 109.5. Run the ncshell utility to generate a wrapper for the model you want to use:% ncshell -import swift -into vhdl model_mx -nocompile -work slm_libThis step produces in the slm_lib work directory a bit-blasted wrapper file(model_mx.vhd) and a component declaration file (model_mx_comp.vhd) for thespecified model.6. Compile the bit-blasted wrapper and component file:% ncvhdl -w slm_lib model_mx.vhd% ncvhdl -w slm_lib model_mx_comp.vhd7. If you want to use a bused wrapper for the model, do the following:a. Use the following command to produce a bused wrapper file namedmodel_mx_bw.vhd:% $LMC_HOME/bin/vsg -bit2bus vhdl model_mxb. Edit the model_mx_bw.vhd file to add Library and Use statements to the top ofthe file:LIBRARY SLM_LIB;USE SLM_LIB.smartmodels.all;c. Compile the bused wrapper:% ncvhdl -w slm_lib model_mx_bw.vhdAttentionIf you want to use the bused model wrapper, you must add appropriatecomponent declarations to your testbench or edit a component file alreadyincluded in your testbench for multiple SWIFT models, specifying ports andgenerics as required.8. Add LIBRARY and USE statements to your testbench:library slm_lib;use slm_lib.smartmodels.all;use slm_lib.mempro_pkg.all;October 6, 2003 Synopsys, Inc. 115
