hi all

i need to start a golden model that comes as an excutable (i dont have the source code) from specman is there  a way to do so ? (may be as a shell command)?

i dont have the source code or the .o/.so files so i cann't use the the c interface.

    You can start any Unix command via the spawn() or system() methods in Specman.

    The question is, once the C model is running, how does it communicate with the simulation?

    Does the model just read a data file, and dump a golden output file?
    Or does it have a socket interface to talk to Specman?
    There are lots of options, depending on what your C model can do...
