Simulation Settings - Simulation Settings - 1.1 English - PG313

In the Flow Navigator click Simulation > Simulation Settings. This opens the Project Settings menu on the Simulation tab as shown.

Set the Target simulator to Vivado Simulator.

SystemC Simulation of the NoC

By default, Run Simulation uses a SystemVerilog behavioral model of the NoC and DDRMC. Vivado has the ability to use a much faster SystemC model of the NoC and DDRMC. To enable SystemC modeling, every instance of the AXI NoC and AXIS NoC needs to have the property SELECTED_SIM_MODEL set to tlm.

The following figure shows changing the selected sim model to System C by setting it to tlm (by default, the value is set to rtl). Note that the SystemC model is much faster but less accurate compared to the SystemVerilog model. Use the SystemC model to verify functionality, and SystemVerilog to model performance.

The Tcl command to select a simulation model is as follows. Set it to tlm for SystemC or rtl for SystemVerilog.

set_property SELECTEC_SIM_MODEL tlm [get_bd_cells/axi_noc_0]

Error Messages

The NoC / DDRMC IPs contains three types of error messages:

• Fatal
• Error
• Warning

You can manage error messages by adding the runtime arguments from the following table. Add these either in the simulate.sh script or in more_options section of the Simulation tab of the corresponding simulator.
