[Xcelium] How to re-compile the design+testbench from GUI?

amnldm

Hi All,

Is it possible to recompile the design or testbench file from Xcelium GUI? I know in Questa it's possible.

I mean should I close the GUI each time when I need to recompile the design or testbench files? Could not this be done from GUI?

Thanks!

  • If you're using SimVision as the GUI, from any open SimVision window, go to the "Simulation" menu option then "Reinvoke simulator".

    This will keep the GUI open whilst the simulator recompiles the code. If the compilation fails, SimVision will pop up and error window and give you the option to see the compiler errors, though they would normally be visible on the Linux terminal as well.

    Note that depending on how you started the simulation, the above may not work - e.g. if you compile and run in a single step: "xrun *.sv -gui" it will recompile, but if you used separate xrun commands to compile and separately to simulate, the reinvoke will simply restart the simulation without recompiling, because SimVision doesn't know the sequence of commands you used to compile the design (some customers have extremely complex build flows that involve many xrun commands so it's not safe for the tool to guess the command to use).
