Instructions for compiling and simulation

Setup

• Make a copy of ./constants_local-copy.sv and rename it as constants_local.sv
• Edit the definitions for INSTMEM_FILEPATH and DATAMEM_FILEPATH, giving the paths for .txt files containing the Instruction Memory binary and Data Memory hex content.

Instructions for using Icarus Verilog

Compilation

iverilog -o module1.vvp module1_tb.v

Simulation

vvp module1.vvp

Or Single Line Command (Windows Powershell)

iverilog -o tb.vvp tb.v ; vvp tb.vvp

Displaying the Waveform - open the module1.vcd file using Scansion or GTKwave or any other VCD viewer

Instructions for using Questa Sim (Experimental)

Compilation

Open a new project and add the module files along with the necessary testbench If there is a hierachchy, arrange the files to that order Compile all the files

Simulation

vsim -voptargs=""+acc"" <filename>

This creates a simulation with objects and the waveform of the shown

vsim -debugDB <filename>

This creates a schematic of the simulated file
