Does cadence ncsim support uvm command line argument?

Hi,

 

I'm running v.13.10.001 of ncsim.

 

It doesn't look like it supports uvm command line argument uvm_set_config_int like:

 

ncsim <flags> work.my_tb +UVM_TESTNAME=tb_m00308_default_test +uvm_set_config_int=*,<my_variable1>,<my_value>

 

Is that correct?

hi,

 

im sure ius supports that. what are your symptoms and have you escaped the "*" in order to avoid shell expansion?

hi Uwe,

 

I've tried now with escaped * and full path, without success:

ncsim <flags> work.my_tb +UVM_TESTNAME=tb_m00308_default_test +uvm_set_config_int=uvm_test_top,<my_variable1>,<my_value>

ncsim <flags> work.my_tb +UVM_TESTNAME=tb_m00308_default_test +uvm_set_config_int=\*,<my_variable1>,<my_value>

 

A similar issue, when trying to trace the config db, I write

ncsim <flags> work.my_tb +UVM_TESTNAME=tb_m00308_default_test +uvm_set_config_int=*,<my_variable1>,<my_value> +UVM_CONFIG_DB_TRACE

 

I do not get any trace at all, even though I have other config overriding in my test.

However, choosing different tests from the command line is working.

Note that these commands all work with vcs, which we currently are using.

hi,

 

this sounds strange to me. i just rechecked 13.10 and its working as expected. 

 

btw have you set +UVM_VERBOSITY to NONE ? if you do then the UVM_CONFIG_DB_TRACE messages are NOT emitted since they are printed with UVM_LOW verbosity.

Now it works. The problem was that we didn't compiled the uvm_dpi library. Thank you for your help anyway.
