Passing e defines through Model Sim

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Is it possible to pass specman defines through Model Sim while restarting.
On Model Sim command prompt
VSIM 1> restart -f ; sn "reload;test"
I need to pass a "define ABCD" based on which reloading sequence of specman works. (Inclusion/exclusion of certain files)

    Hi Prashant,

    "define" can be used as a Specman command. I suggest trying the following:

    VSIM 1> restart -f ; sn "restore"; sn "define ABCD new_value; reload; test"

    I tried it with Specman standalone and found that you need to have the "restore" to remove a previously defined value. The new "define" must be issued separately from the "restore"

    Hope that helps,
    Dean

    Thanks Dean,
    It worked with co-simulator (Model sim) with the command line you mentioned.
