Memory Content Viewer in Simvision

PAULKI

Hi techies,
I'm using NCSim (09.20-s025). I need to view the memory contents which is pre-loaded in the GUI Simulation. Do we have any sub tool in NCSim to view the memory contents?
Here are my queries:-

1. Memory Content Viewer in Simvision
2. Memory Preload command in GUI for NCSIM

  • Hi Paul,

    To dump the content of memories in the waveform database...

    if you are using tcl probe commands, add -memories to the probe command, eg. 

    probe some.hierarchical.path. -all -memories -depth all

    the above command will problem all signals within the some.hiearchical.path instance and below, including memories.

    If you re using $shm_probe within verilog code, add "M" as an option, eg.

    $shm_probe ("some.hierarchical.path", "ASM");

    The above shm_probe will probe all signals within the specified scope and below, excluding library cells, and will also include memories.

     Hope that helps.

  • Hi Paul,

     I just realized that I didn't answer your second question about memory preload.  You can preload memories using a tcl command.

     For more information take a look at the memory command in the tcl command reference within the IES installation (<ies_install>/tools/doc/tclcmdref/tclcmdref.pdf).

     Best regards,
    Mickey

  • Hi Mickey,

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    If you can share some example code of tcl file and pre-load tcl file much appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

    Paul
