please help on verilog and vhdl combination problems

Hi Candence,

I met a problem in using verilog and vhdl:

1) I use verilog to make a testbench while the DUT all are made by VHDL

2) I want to initialize the lower level memories in DUT. I have tried to use $nc_mirror, but it seems useless.

So would you like to give me some suggestions on how to initial memories in VHDL designs through  verilog testbench?

Thanks!

    Thanks for your kindly reply. It works by using $nc_force.

    BTW, how can I transfer a integer variable from verilog to VHDL?

    As the code shows bellow:

    tb_top is verilog module;

    vhdl_top and bellows are vhdl module.

    module tb_top;

    integer i;

    $nc_force("tb_top.vhdl_top:ocmem:memarry[i]" , #data[i]);

    endmodule

    The ERROR message is:

    expecting a integer index i.
