Tutorial on NCsim

ReubenMijares

Hi,


I'm learning how to use ncsim and I have done so many research on Google. But what I found out was that most of the blogs are complicated to understand. For most of them, there are pre-requisites before you can totally understand what's happening.


So, I would like to ask if you have a "step-by-step" tutorial on how to simulate using NCsim? I would like to know on these particular topics:

- Waveform Dumping

- Functional Coverage report and merging

For the functional coverage report, I placed a -coverage all as options, just like what the blogs I read did. But what happens to my regression is that it runs very very slow! Usually it only takes 30 minutes. But now it takes 24 hours.

So, do you have a step-by-step tutorial on running NCsim?

Thank you.


Regards,

Reuben

  • Hi Stephen,


    Thanks for the reply. I have tried both the waveform dumping and functional coverage and they are working.

    Now I have another problem. My regression outputs several coverage output files. I need to merge them all.

    According to my research, I can use imc> merge test1 test2 -out merge_results

    However, these output files are so many. I don't want to type all these output files in the command line to merge them.

    Is there a command where all of these coverage output files are merged without manually typing them?
