Setting vhdl tb generic using irun command

itsonlyme

Hi all,

I've got a problem. In my tb I've got a generic:
        G_WAVEFORM_TYPE : string := "xxx" 

and i'd like to change "xxx" to "yyy" using irun "start.f" file, but i can't

-mess -v93 -assert ../src/dut.vhd ../src/tb.vhd -generic "tb.G_WAVEFORM_TYPE => "yyy""
or in other file:
-top tb -access rwc -defparam tb.G_WAVEFORM_TYPE="yyy" -nowarn CUDEFB
doesn't work. Could you  tell me how to set a tb (vhdl) generic from *.f file using irun -f and what is the correct command to do it?

Thanks,
John.

  • My run.f file:
    // Compile the VHDL files
    -mess -v93 -assert ../src/dut.vhd ../src/tb.vhd

    // Information for elaboration
    -top tb -access rwc -generic 'tb.G_WAVEFORM_TYPE => "yyy"' -nowarn CUDEFB

    // Set up the simulation
    -input ../src/dir_ncsim/setup.tcl

    // exit simulation at the end
    -exit

    Used command:
    irun -64BIT -f ../src/dir_ncsim/run.f

    Return code:
    irun: *E,FMUK: The type of the file (=>) could not be determined.
    irun: *E,FILEMIS: Cannot find the provided file =>. 
    irun: *E,FMUK: The type of the file (yyy') could not be determined.
    irun: *E,FILEMIS: Cannot find the provided file yyy'.

    yyy' should be a string value not a name of file. And what does ' mean? Any ideas? When I do not set generic, simulation working fine, but for default "xxx" value.
