Starting VirSim
+simtype+<simulator>
The +simtype+<simulator> command is used to select the
simulator type. When
+simtype is entered at the command line, the
simulator starts automatically and the Interactive Window appears.
This argument may be used in conjunction with
+sim and +simargs
to override default simulator names and arguments. The Invocation
Dialog Type menu lists the legal simulator types.
+simargs+<parameters>
The +simargs+<parameters> command allows additional
arguments to be passed to the simulator when it is invoked. You can
specify multiple arguments within double quotes.
Note:
For Verilog Users: Because VirSim uses the argument +vpdfile+
to specify the
.vpd file to create, and VirSim also uses the
argument to open a previously created
.vpd file, the user may
use the
+simargs+ command to pass the +vpdfile+ runtime
argument to the simulator (e.g.
virsim
+vpdfile+file1.vpd+simargs+"+vpdfile+file2.vpd
" tells
VirSim to open
file1.vpd for analysis and pass the argument
+vpdfile +file2vpd to the simulator when it is invoked.
+cfgfile+<filename>
The +cfgfile+<filename> command loads the given configuration
file upon startup. A configuration file specifies what windows to open
and what groups, expressions, etc. to use. If you do not use a .cfg
file, VirSim opens at the Hierarchy Browser. From the Hierarchy
Browser you can drag and drop signals and scopes into any of
VirSim’s windows for debug.
