Synopsys VCS Simulation
Before starting a Synopsys VCS simulation, you must do the following:
•
Check that the $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR environment variable points to the Quartus II
software directory in the Quartus II software installation. The example script
example-vcs.sh requires this variable to locate the Mentor VIP AE BFMs during
simulation.
•
Set the environment variable VCS_HOME to the installation directory of the VCS
Verilog compiler.
setenv VCS_HOME <Installation-of-VCS>
Starting a Simulation from a UNIX Command Line
To start a simulation with the Synopsys VCS simulator from a UNIX command line:
1. Change the directory to the work directory containing the example to be simulated.
cd axi4stream-qsys-examples/ex1_back_to_back_sv
2. Start the Synopsys VCS simulator with the example-vcs.sh script.
•
For a 32-bit simulation execute the command:
sh example-vcs.sh 32
•
For a 64-bit simulation execute the command:
sh example-vcs.sh 64
Note
For details about the process steps performed by the example-vcs.sh script, see the section
Synopsys VCS Example Script Processing .
Synopsys VCS Example Script Processing
The example-vcs.sh script described below is contained in the installed Mentor VIP AE
directory location axi4stream/qsys-examples/ex1_back_to_back_sv.
