New Setup Script Assists in Installation Debug and Runtime Configuration
Block Cosimulation Until HDL Simulator Is Ready with New Link for Cadence Incisive MATLAB Function
Send Tcl Commands to the HDL Simulator with New Link for Cadence Incisive MATLAB Function
Suppress Error Message with New hdldaemon Property Name/Property Value Pair
Link and Target Products Regrouped in New Start, Help, and Demos Category
Link for Cadence Incisive is able to run the HDL simulator side of the link in 32–bit mode and the MATLAB/Simulink side in 64–bit mode, either on a single machine or in a true cross-platform mode. See Using the EDA Simulator Link™ IN Libraries in the EDA Simulator Link™ IN User's Guide.
Changes to the HDL Cosimulation block mask allow you to enter port information directly into the ports table. For more, see Ports Pane in the HDL Cosimulation block reference.
Link for Cadence Incisive provides a guided setup script (syschecklfi) for configuring your simulator setup. This setup works whether your have installed Link for Cadence Incisive and MATLAB on the same machine as Cadence Incisive or if you have installed them on different machines. This script creates a configuration file containing the location of the appropriate Link for Cadence Incisive MATLAB and Simulink libraries. You can then include this configuration with any other calls you make using Cadence Incisive ncsim from the Incisive or NC simulator. You only need to run this script once. If you plan to use the MATLAB nclaunch function instead, no setup is required. See Setting Up Your Environment for the EDA Simulator Link™ IN Software.
Note The Link for Cadence Incisive guided setup configuration/diagnostic script works only on Unix and Linux. Windows users: please see instructions in the EDA Simulator Link™ IN User's Guide for manually creating the configuration files. |
The Link for Cadence Incisive libraries are compiled using the same compilers that MATLAB is compiled with (they vary by platform) as well as the compilers that are available with Cadence Incisive (usually some version of gcc). This is done to ensure compatibility with other C++ libraries that may get linked into the HDL simulator, including SystemC libraries. See Using the EDA Simulator Link™ IN Libraries in the EDA Simulator Link™ IN User's Guide.
The Link for Cadence Incisive MATLAB function pingHdlSim blocks cosimulation by not returning until the Simulink server is loaded or until a specified timeout occurs. This function is useful if you are trying to automate a cosimulation and you need to know that the Simulink server has loaded before your script continues the simulation. See pingHdlSim in EDA Simulator Link™ IN MATLAB® Function Reference.
tclHdlSim executes a Tcl command immediately on the HDL simulator using a shared or socket connection. See tclHdlSim in EDA Simulator Link™ IN MATLAB® Function Reference.
hdldaemon propety name/property value pair "quiet", "true" suppresses printing messages to the standard queue. Errors are still shown. See hdldaemon in EDA Simulator Link™ IN MATLAB® Function Reference.
You can cosimulate a model using SystemVerilog and/or SystemC with MATLAB or Simulink using Link for Cadence Incisive. Write simple wrappers around the SystemC and make sure that the SystemVerilog cosimulation connections are to ports or signals of data types supported by Link for Cadence Incisive.
A new product category, Links and Targets, now contains all MathWorks™ software products that link, target, or cosimulate code.
This change impacts you in the following ways:
Finding and viewing these products through the MATLAB® Desktop Start button and in the Help browser Contents and Demos panes.
Using the demo command to access the product demos.
For more about this new product category, see Demos and Help Browser Contents Now Include New Category for Links and Targets, in the MATLAB Release Notes.
The Link for Cadence Incisive User's Guide (including the Getting Started Guide) and Reference Guide have been reorganized as a result of intense technical review and documentation usability testing, resulting in product documentation that follows a realistic workflow for EDA verification and testing.
