ModelSim SE & SystemC

From “ModelSim SE User’s Manual”

The following modifications are needed:

• Replace “sc_main()” with an SC_MODULE, and potentially add a process to contain any testbench code

• Replace “sc_start()” by using the “run” command in the GUI

• Remove calls to “sc_initialize()”

• Export the top level SystemC design unit(s) using the SC_MODULE_EXPORT macro

• Verify that SystemC signal, ports and modules are explicitly named to avoid port binding and debugging errors. Disabling of automatic name binding may be needed.

• SC_CTOR (or the SC_MTI_BIND_NAME) macro is used

• use “-nonamebind” argument when compiling

int sc_main(int argc, char* argv[]) { sc_signal<bool> mysig; mymod mod(”mod”); mod.outp(mysig); sc_start(100, SC_NS); }

SC_MODULE(mytop) { sc_signal<bool> mysig; mymod mod; SC_CTOR(mytop): mysig(”mysig”), mod(”mod”) { mod.outp(mysig); } }; SC_MODULE_EXPORT(mytop);
