verilog simulation

apple419

Hi, Cadence users,

    In the process of learning Cadence...

    I created a new cell adder8 with Verilog functional view. Its symbol is also created. Now there are two views for adder8. One is functional view, and the other is symbol view.

    My question now is how do I simulate it (digitally)?

    Should I use NC-verilog? In CIW I chose tools ->  NC-verilog. The verilog environment for NC-verilog integration form appears.

    Then I filled in the Run directory, Top level design (library, cell, view), and the simulation mode (interactive), selected all three options (compile, elaborate, simulate.) 

     What is next? initialize design? generate netlist?...

    I am a beginner Cadence user. So could anyone describe the detail step by step direction? Or is there such tutorial available in this forum?

    I am using Cadence IC615. 

Thank you!

Best regards

  • Andrew,

       Thanks for your reply. No, it is my fault. I did not mention it. Sorry about that.

       I typed "which ncxlmode" and it returned: ncxlmode: command not found. 

       When I typed "which ncverilog", it returned /home/users/cad/bin/ncverilog. So I assume "ncverilog" would be the executable. But when I changed ncxlmode to ncverilog and ok, it still gave me the same error.

       How do I know if INCISIV is installed, or if my environment setup is right?  

       I checked /home/users/cad/bin directory, and I saw: 

        ncelab -> incisive*

        ncshell -> incisive*

    ncsim -> incisive*

    ncverilog -> incisive*

    ncvlog -> incisive*

    ncvhdl -> incisive*

     

    Best Regards
