Simulator Configuration Guide for Synopsys Models

Chapter 8: Using Scirocco with Synopsys ModelsSimulator Configuration Guide8. Instantiate the model_mx model in your design, defining the ports and SWIFTparameters as needed. The wrapper files include default values for the requiredSWIFT parameters. You can override these values as needed in your testbench. Fordetails on the required SWIFT parameters and DWMM instantiation examples, see“DesignWare Memory Model SWIFT Parameters” on page 29.HintFor model-specific instantiation examples, see the individual modeldatasheets. You can cut-and-paste the model instantiation right out of themodel datasheet and drop it into your testbench. Be sure to map signalnames in your design to the model’s ports. You can access the correct modeldatasheet for the version of the model that you are using with the sl_browsertool ($LMC_HOME/bin/sl_browser).9. Analyze the entities.vhd and components.vhd files, as shown in the followingexample:% vhdlan -w slm_lib components.vhd% vhdlan -w slm_lib entities.vhdNoteThese examples work for event-based simulation. For information on cyclebasedoperation, see the Scirocco Reference Manual.10. Analyze your testbench as shown in the following example:% vhdlan testbench.vhd11. Invoke the Scirocco simulator as shown in the following examples:a. If you are using Scirocco 2001.10 or later:% scs design% scsim -vhpi slm_vhpi:foreignINITelab:cpipeb. If you are using Scirocco 2000.12:% scsim -vhpi slm_vhpi:foreignINITelab:cpipe design200 Synopsys, Inc. October 6, 2003
