forcing a netlist path

Hi, I have to force some signals inside netlist. When i see that signal full path in design browser i found that ":DUT:ve_core_inst:pss_top_inst:pss_top_inst.pss_ring_inst.pss_core_inst.pss_arcss_core_inst.ipss_cpu_isle.ipss_arc_ram_blk.iccm_memX12XXiccm_mem_8kXipss_iccm_rams.\U_pss_wrapper_iccm8kx32_int/U_pssram8192x32 .u0.PreloadFilename" Basically a mixture of ".(dot)" and "/". But if i use the same path to use for force its giving an error that path is not found. Can anyone let me know what is the issue ? Thanks

    Hi Ravisinha,

    That is happening because of the flattened netlist format (from the synthesis tool). So better to align with the synthesis tool's format instead of the NCSim format. (instead of ":" try with the "/").

     

    Thanks,

    Paul
