vhdl & system verilog

archive
archive over 18 years ago

   Hi All,

I have a very basic qn - jus picking up system. verilog -> if the testbench is in system verilog
and the top level is in vhdl - will both the modules be able to talk to each other?

Many Thanks in advance,
indeb

    Hi Indeb,
    Yes, this should work - though not defined by LRM per-se, many tools support this Mixed mode sim nicely. My experience with NC is few years old, even then it supported VHDL-Verilog cosim nicely. So at the worst case the following should work for you:

    SV_Testbench --> Verilog Top --> VHDL DUT


    Top Level in VHDL with say a SV Program instantiated also works in other simulators BTW.
