Simulating Verilog-A modules, including VPI, with Spectre

fgarcia

Hello,

I am trying to instantiate a Verilog-A component which includes a VPI call to a C++ library, but I each time I run Spectre simulator I get the following error:

                  Error found by spectre during AHDL read-in.
                      ERROR (VACOMP-2259): "$hello<<--? ;"


The Verilog-A module (including VPI call) is functional and has been verified using NCVerilog and NCSim.
When trying to simulate in Spectre, this module is included with the following sentence:

                   ahdl_include "altered_non_linear_drift.va"

Which is the proper way to include this kind of elements in a standard Spectre netlist?

Thank you in advance
