Getting Started
VCS is also integrated with other third-party tools via the programming
language interface (PLI). Also, the DirectC Interface enables
interaction between Verilog designs and applications written in C or
C++.
VCS is integrated with many third party tools such as testbench tools,
memory model generation tools, acceleration and emulation
systems, and graphical user interfaces.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• What VCS Supports
• Main Components of VCS
• VCSi
• Preparing to Run VCS
• VCS Workflow
• Compiling the Simulation Executable
• Running a Simulation
• Accessing the Discovery AMS Documentation
• Making a Verilog Model Protected and Portable
