Simulator Configuration Guide for Synopsys Models

Chapter 9: Using VERA with Synopsys ModelsSimulator Configuration Guide5. To create the model’s bit-blasted VHDL wrapper, run the MTI sm_entity script, asshown in the following example:% $MTI_HOME/bin/sm_entity -c model_mx > model_mx.vhdThis step generates entity and component declarations for the model.NoteIf you want to use more than one DWMM model in your simulation, refer tothe “sm_entity Command Reference” on page 79.6. Edit the generated model_mx.vhd file as follows. In the architecture section, add the“library ieee” line highlighted in the following example:architecture SmartModel of model_mx isattribute FOREIGN : STRING;attribute FOREIGN of SmartModel : architecture is "sm_init$MODEL_TECH/libsm.sl ; model_mx;beginend SmartModel;library ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; package comp iscomponent model_mxAlso, at the end of the model_mx.vhd file, right after the “end component”statement, add the following highlighted line:end component;end comp;7. Compile the required Synopsys libraries into the slm_lib library, as shown in thefollowing examples:% vlib work% vcom -93 -work slm_lib $LMC_HOME/sim/mti/src/slm_hdlc.vhd% vcom -93 -work slm_lib $LMC_HOME/sim/mti/src/mempro_pkg.vhd8. Add slm_lib LIBRARY and USE statements to your testbench:LIBRARY SLM_LIB;USE SLM_LIB.mempro_pkg.all;USE SLM_LIB.comp.all;9. Compile the model’s bit-blasted wrapper file (model_mx.vhd) into the slm_liblibrary, as shown in the following example:% vcom -93 -work slm_lib model_mx.vhd10. Create a bused wrapper for the model, as shown in the following example:% $LMC_HOME/bin/vsg -bit2bus vhdl model_mxThis step produces an output file named model_mx_bw.vhd.246 Synopsys, Inc.
