Simulator Configuration Guide for Synopsys Models

Chapter 9: Using VERA with Synopsys ModelsSimulator Configuration GuideSimulator: Scirocco1. Make sure Scirocco is set up properly and all required environment variables areset, as explained in “Setting Environment Variables” on page 191.2. Create slm_lib and work directories, as shown in the following examples:% mkdir ./slm_lib% mkdir ./work3. Create the logical to physical mapping for the slm_lib, work, and default libraries bymodifying your local synopsys_sim.setup file to include the following lines:WORK > DEFAULTDEFAULT : ./workSLM_LIB : ./slm_lib4. Set your simulation timebase by modifying your local synopsys_sim.setup file toinclude a TIMEBASE entry, as shown in the following example:TIMEBASE = PS5. Compile the required Synopsys libraries into the slm_lib library, as shown in thefollowing example:% vhdlan -w slm_lib $LMC_HOME/sim/vhpi/src/slm_hdlc.vhd% vhdlan -w slm_lib $LMC_HOME/sim/vhpi/src/mempro_pkg.vhdCautionDo not use the Scirocco -noevent switch when compiling the slm_hdlc.vhdpackage. This can cause the package to compile incorrectly.6. Add slm_lib LIBRARY and USE statements to your testbench:LIBRARY SLM_LIB;USE SLM_LIB.components.all;USE SLM_LIB.mempro_pkg.all;7. Create the model’s bused wrapper as shown in the following example:% $SYNOPSYS_SIM/platform/sim/bin/create_smartmodel_lib -create \-srcdir . -model model_mxThis step produces a components.vhd file and an entities.vhd file. The model_mxmodel is defined in the entities.vhd file.8. 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 29.258 Synopsys, Inc. October 6, 2003
