error when passing a string to ncutils

JMGGL
JMGGL over 16 years ago

This is what I am trying to do:

parameter [1023:0] chip_name="tb_top.I_0.";

wire [1023:0] path_name;

assign  path_name    = {chip_name,"module1.module2.signal"};

$nc_mirror("signal",path_name","verbose");

 

*And the following message error appears:

Non-string argument specified for $nc_mirror task...

 

I tried to pass directly  path_name, without concatenation, and same problem. Also with other ncutils: nc_force, nc_release... Does anybody know how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Mickey.

    string datatype is used in System Verilog right? How to enable it with ncsim 6.11? I tried with ncvlog -sv and it doesn't work.

    Other options to solve my problem using normal Verilog? This is really important for me, since my database has plenty of those assignments...
