GUI for verilog model

[vicky]

Hi everyone,


I need to create a java based GUI for a verilog model.
That means I want to modify the values of objects/variables of verilog
model at runtime from a GUI.

Any idea how it can be done.


What I can think at this particular time is:
To create a PLI/VPI which can communcate between verilog model & GUI
application.
------------- ---------
| VERILOG | <------PLI------> | JAVA |
------------- ---------

Still dont know if it is possible.

Please suggest the best possible way

Thanks in advance

There are numerous of ways. Just 2 of them:
1. Your GUI and PLI use file on the local storage.
2. You can use TCP/IP for communication between PLI and GUI

First is quite simple to implement.

Best regards,

Another way will be

keep API 's like tcl scripts to get the values you want and the vpi
routines you want to code.
VCS already has a tool called DVE that does that.

VIRSIM' s days are gone. DVE is really cool
