Functional coverage

archive
archive over 17 years ago

Hello!
I'm trying to use functional coverage with the IUS6.2 without success. I added the following command when elaborating the design:
-COVFILE configuration_file, and the configuration_file contains coverage -functional -select top -depth all

When elaborating the design the follonwing message is showed in terminal:
ncelab: *N,C57MOD: By default, the old use model for coverage is enabled. IUS6.1 is the last release to support the old use model. Post IUS6.1, only the new use model will be supported.
ncelab: *W,ICFUC: Unknown Command on line 1 of file configuration_file.

Would someone help me? How can I use functional coverage in IUS6.2?

Thank you!

    Here are the coverage options for irun (coverage U is for fUnctional):

    % irun -coverage U -covdut top

    Other options would be:
    -covdesign Select coverage design name
    -covdut Select DUT for Coverage
    -coverage Enable coverage instrumentation
    -covfile Specify coverage instrumentation control file
    -covnomodeldump Disable coverage design database (model) dumping
    -covoverwrite Enable overwrite of coverage output files
    -covtest Select coverage test name

    The coverage command is a ncsim tcl command and should be used as a tcl input file during the simulation, and not a configuration file during ncelab.

    Please file a SR through SourceLink (http://sourcelink.cadence.com) if you need help with generating functional coverage with 6.2.
