Newbie level 2
Ok the installation is getting on my nerves now!
So, I know VHDL, Verilog and now want to learn SystemC + System Verilog (along with their extension i.e TLM, UVM, DPI or PLI , UPF and others like OCI, SDF, IP-XACT, PSL etc)
But taking the babysteps first, earlier I have been working on Xilinx ISE on Windows. But now I have moved to Linux and my expectations have raised, thanks to free distributions and Icarus Verilog.
I already know how to compile a .c file or a .cpp file plus how to make executable shell scripts.
And thanks to Icarus I know how to compile a verilog file with it's testbench using:
and fetching it's waveform using:
But now with similar expectations towards the things I want to learn (i.e SystemC, TLM, System Verilog, UVM)
I have downloaded the free and open source- ("systemc-2.3.0.tgz" which is inclusive of TLM 2.0) + ("uvm-1.1c.tar.gz")
Then I have installed them using:
And now I am struggling to move forward, i.e. what is the command to link these things/libraries together to my system root libraries and with GTKwave so they compile just like Icarus verilog?
Plus, what is the command to compile a SystemC file?
And also how to use this UVM library on SystemC if I can or otherwise is there a package available to extend my Icarus Verilog compiler to be used as System Verilog compiler and then incorporating UVM 1.1c in it!
My demands might sound unrealistic from one end but are actually great explorations for a newbie to ASIC world, as this EDA world is pretty scattered with all these tools which promises it to be standardised with all our IEEE's and yet we face problems of interfacing different methodologies, so ironic.. I wish all these latest IEEE's should come installed on a Linux distribution with all comiling commands mentioned properly and that too in a Live DVD release within every 6 months duration and that too for free... seriously, then this world can definitely achieve the new heights of technological developments!
I look forward to hear from our EDA friends soon...
