Running Specman with VCS simulator

MVSI

Hello!

 I am trying to run the Specman with VCS simulator but its giving error. I tried with sn_simulator_test.sh script.

 Error-[UCLI-121] Runtime Argument Error.
Argument -s is not supported anymore in this release, kindly move to UCLI.
The correct usage is 'simv -ucli [-i <tcl file>]'. Please provide -ucli
switch to runtime argument, to enable UCLI. 

I tried with -ucli option after that also it's giving error. 

Also, I need to run the Specman with VCS simulator having mixed HDL environment (VHDL DUT and Testbench Verilog). Is any version of specman supporting this?

 

Thanks!

    Hi Mainsh,

     - Specman is currently support only vcs2008 stream. It is not support VCS 2009.12-B1.

    sn9.2 update release will add the support for 2009.06.

    -  You can work with UCLI but this option will not always work for you - we are working with Synopsys to add the support for UCLI in the coming hot fix of 9.2.

    - you can work with MIXED design , this is not documented in specman documentation since Synopsys develop and support this option.

    Here is an example of typical flow in a mixed environment:

    %specman -c "load <e-file>; write stubs -verilog"
    %vlogan -q <verilog-file> specman.v
    %vhdlan -nc $VCS_HOME/packages/synopsys/src/specman.vhd
    %vhdlan -nc <vhdl-files>


    %sn_compile.sh -sim vcs -sim_flags "-debug test specman specman_wave"

    - This will create "vcs_specman" executable:

    - You must set the SPECMAN_VCSMX_VHDL_ADAPTER environment variable: SPECMAN_VCSMX_VHDL_ADAPTER=$VCS_HOME/linux/lib/libvhdl_sn_adapter.so

    Regards,

    Michal
