Practical guide to integrate Specman with a ISS

FormerMember
FormerMember over 10 years ago

Hello,

I recently developed an Instruction Set Simulator using an Architecture Description Language called ArchC.

My plan is to port this ISS into Cadence's tools for further Embedded Software Verification.

It seems a good idea, however I'm facing serious problems to integrate the ISS with Specman.

I was wondering if is there a practical guide, or examples with an ISS written in SystemC?

I tried to use the IVB to create the project files, but it seems so complicated, I'm looking for a simple example

that uses an ISS in SystemC. (All the examples in the documentation either use Verilog or Host code Execution)


Thank you.

    I'm kind lost actually. How to compile the software, what e files have to be called by simulation, how do I connect the SystemC simulator event with the e code? I found the documentation very difficult to follow, would be nice a more practical guide. Thanks anyway.
