| xsim Option | Description |
|---|---|
-f [-file] <filename>
|
Load the command line options from a file. |
-g [-gui]
|
Run with interactive workspace. |
-h [-help]
|
Print help message to screen. |
-log <filename>
|
Specify the log file name. |
-maxdeltaid arg (=-1)
|
Specify the maximum delta number. Report an error if it exceeds maximum simulation loops at the same time. |
-maxlogsize arg (=-1)
|
Set the maximum size a log file can reach in MB. The default setting is unlimited. |
-ieeewarnings
|
Enable warnings from VHDL IEEE functions. |
-nolog
|
Suppresses log file generation. |
|
|
Disables the installation of OS-level signal handlers in the simulation. For performance reasons, the simulator does not check explicitly for certain conditions, such as an integer division by zero, that could generate an OS-level fatal run time error. Instead, the simulator installs signal handlers to catch those errors and generates a report. With the signal handlers disabled, the simulator can run in the presence of such security software, but OS-level fatal errors could crash the simulation abruptly with little indication of the nature of the failure. CAUTION: Use this option only if your security software prevents the simulator from running successfully.
|
-onfinish <quit|stop>
|
Specify the behavior at end of simulation. |
-onerror <quit|stop>
|
Specify the behavior upon simulation run time error. |
-R [-runall]
|
Runs simulation till end (such as do 'run
all;quit'). |
-stats
|
Display memory and CPU stats upon exiting. |
-testplusarg <arg>
|
Specify plusargs to be used by $test$plusargs and $value$plusargs system
functions. |
-t [-tclbatch] <filename>
|
Specify the Tcl file for batch mode execution. |
-tp
|
Enable printing to screen of hierarchical names of process being executed. |
-tl
|
Enable printing to screen of file name and line number of statements being executed. |
-wdb <filename.wdb>
|
Specify the waveform database output file. |
-version
|
Print the compiler version to screen. |
-view <wavefile.wcfg>
|
Open a wave configuration file. Use this switch together with -gui switch. |
-protoinst
|
Specify a .protoinst file for protocol analysis. |
-sv_seed
|
Seed for SystemVerilog constraint random. |
-cov_db_dir
|
Functional coverage database dump directory. The coverage data is present under <arg>/xsim.covdb/<cov_db_name> directory. Default is ./ or inherits the value set in xelab. |
-cov_db_name
|
Functional coverage database name. The coverage data will be present under <cov_db_dir>/xsim.covdb/<arg> directory. Default is snapshot name or inherits the value set in xelab. |
-downgrade_error2info
|
Downgrade the severity level of the HDL messages from Error to Info. |
-downgrade_error2warning
|
Downgrade the severity level of the HDL messages from Error to Warning. |
-downgrade_fatal2info
|
Downgrade the severity level of the HDL messages from Fatal to Info. |
-downgrade_fatal2warning
|

-downgrade_severity
|
Downgrade the severity level of the HDL messages. Following are the
choices:
|
-ignore_assertions
|
Ignore SystemVerilog concurrent assertions. |
-ignore_coverage
|
Ignore SystemVerilog functional coverage. |
-ignore_feature
|
Ignore the effect of a specific HDL feature or construct. Following are the choices:
|
-tempDir
|
Specify the temporary directory name. |
-autoloadwcfg
|
Load already saved waveform configuration file. |
Tip: When running the
xelab, xsc, xsim, xvhdl, xcrg, or xvlog
commands in batch files or scripts, it might also be necessary to define the
XILINX_VIVADO environment variable to point to the installation hierarchy of the
Vivado Design Suite. To set the XILINX_VIVADO
variable, add one of the following to your script or batch file: - On Windows:
set XILINX_VIVADO=<vivado_install_area>/Vivado/<version> - On Linux:
setenv XILINX_VIVADO vivado_install_area>/Vivado/<version> - Where
<version>is the version of Vivado tools you are using: 2014.3, 2014.4, 2015.1, etc
