Simulator Configuration Guide for Synopsys Models

Simulator Configuration GuideChapter 1: Using Synopsys Models with Simulatorsflexm_setup Command ReferenceIn addition to specifying SWIFT parameters, you must run the flexm_setup utility eachtime you install a new or updated FlexModel into your $LMC_HOME tree. Thisensures that you pick up the latest package files for that version of the model.Syntaxflexm_setup [-help] [-dir path] modelArgumentmodelSwitches-help-d[ir] pathPathname to the FlexModel you want to set up.Prints help information.Copies the contents of the FlexModel’s versioned src/verilogand src/vhd directories into path/src/verilog and path/src/vhdl.The directory specified by path must already exist.ExamplesWhen run without the -dir switch, flexm_setup just prints the name of the versioneddirectory of the selected model’s source files# Lists name of versioned directory containing source files% flexm_setup mpc860_fxWhen run with the -dir switch pointing to your working directory, flexm_setup copiesover all the versioned package files you need to that working directory.# Creates copy in ‘flexmodel’ directory of model source files% mkdir workdir% flexm_setup -dir workdir mpc860_fxYou should not use flexm_setup to update models within an existing $LMC_HOMEtree. That is, do not use the $LMC_HOME tree as the equivalent of workdir as shown inthe previous examples. The potential exists to recursively copy a directory into itselfuntil you have no remaining disk space. $LMC_HOME should be a read-only directory,and only modified by your system administrator.October 6, 2003 Synopsys, Inc. 25
