Simulator Configuration Guide for Synopsys Models

Chapter 6: Using NC-VHDL with Synopsys ModelsSimulator Configuration Guide3. Run your simulation:% ncsim -loadfmi libfmi_ml.so:slm_boot NoteIf you include your own or other vendors’ C code in your simulation, youmay need to build a custom libfmi.so as shown above. In this case, do notinclude this line in the libFmiLibrary table:{"Cpipe", CpipeModelTable}The Cpipe (DWMM) code is present in the libfmi_ml.so library loaded fromthe command line. Refer to your Cadence NC-VHDL C user documentationfor details of the -loadfmi ncsim command line switch for loading multipledynamic libraries.Using Hardware Models with NC-VHDLTo use hardware models with NC-VHDL, follow this procedure. For the latestinformation on supported features, refer to the Cadence documentation.1. Make sure NC-VHDL is set up properly and all required environment variables areset, as explained in “Setting Environment Variables” on page 107.2. Add the hardware model install tree to your path variable, as shown in the followingexample:% set path=(/install/sms/bin/platform/ $path)3. Create your own library directory for files that will be generated for the hardwaremodel.4. Run the ncshell command to generate .vhd wrapper files, as shown in the followingexample:% ncshell -import lmsfi -into vhdl models/TILS299/TILS299.MDLYou can also use the -all switch to create .vhd files for multiple hardware models.NC-VHDL Example with TILS299 Hardware ModelThe following example uses the TILS299 hardware model to show how to set uphardware models for use with NC-VHDL:1. Create a testbench to instantiate the hardware model (for exampleTB_TILS299.vhd).120 Synopsys, Inc. October 6, 2003
