How to 'resume' a tcl-driven simulation in NCSIM (IUS54)? |
|
|
My workplace uses NCSIM's tcl-interface to drive our VHDL/Verilog
(mixed-language simulations.) They use some tcl routines to
'poll' some sim-objects ('magic' RAM locations),
and detect the 'completion' of a sim. (Basically, the
tcl-procedure checks periodically for a certain-value written
to a Verilog reg[] array.)
The problem is, I want to use NCSIM's interactive features (setting
breakpoints) to debug a simulation. If the sim is running, and
I push the 'stop' button, this quits out of the tcl-file. I've
tried 'run', 'run -clean', etc. and while they do resume NCSIM,
they don't return to the interrupted tcl-procedure. (I can tell
because our tcl-procedure periodically prints progress-messages
to the console.)

Followup to my own post. According to the whatsnew document, IUS54
added a new tcl-command called 'pause' (only usable from tcl-scripts,
not from the NCSIM interactive command-line.)
It would be nice if the NCSIM GUI had a button which could perform
this magical 'pause function', rather than me having to strategically
embed the tcl-pause command in all my tcl-scripts. But for now, this
will have do...
(unless someone has a better idea?) |
