Compiling UVM with VCS

[SaurabhS111]

Hello -

I am new to UVM and want to compile uvm code in VCS. I downloaded UVM1.1d from Accellera website. I am using VCS Version A-2008.09.

The environment variable UVM_HOME is set to .../src/
I have tried compiling the hello_world.sv program using the following command:
vcs -sverilog +ntb_opts uvm hello_world.sv

However, I am getting the following error message
source file "uvm" cannot be opened for reading.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

My guess is that uvm is not installed with this version of VCS, so you can't use -ntbopts. Try to compile the uvm source directly with +incdir ../src

Not quite correct.

Hi

 

VCS 2008.09 is way too old, UVM was not even thought of back then.

The current version of VCS is 2013.06 let us know if there are any issues when you use 2013.06 version of VCS.
