Unresolved adater ERR_DID_NOT_FIND_ADAPTER

Hi

I have a mixed HDL environment with a vhdl testbench and i am trying to access an internal signal which is verilog.I am using ncsim with specman.

I constrained the agent() of the unit instance to verilog.

keep soft abc.._u.agent() == "verilog";

    Opening file for message: abc_testbench.elog
   *** Error: ERR_DID_NOT_FIND_ADAPTER: Unresolved adapter identification name 'Verilog'.
When you set this condition to a severity of WARNING or IGNORE, then
the NULL_SIM adapter is used instead.

 Is there any switch i need to use along with ncsim/ncelab to solve this problem?

Any help in resolving this is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Steve

    Thanks for your reply. I had opened a ticket with Cadence support and got this issue resolved yesterday. The problem i had was that the agent() of sys was not constrained in our enviornment and this worked well in 5.XX version of specman but now when we migrated to the newest version, i  have to explicitly constrain agent() attribute of sys - in my case to "vhdl".

    I also wasn't loading specman module (present in specman.v) while ncelab. ( I missed this step.. Our prev environment was using modelsim and they used to load it while running vsim)

    I corrected these two errors and recreated stubs files. Now i can run sims without any errors.

     

    Regards
