Need info on making synopsys vcs and dve work

[balu]

Can anyone guide how to make vcs and dve up and running after
installing them. I have set env variables for VCS_HOME and dve but my
combinations are not working. VCS is able to simulate but the dve
doesn't start.

Just read installation PDF from Synopsys.

You need to use -debug_all option at compile time to generate database
for dve use.
if you can't invoke dve then u need to check environment variable .
Check solvnet for more info.

Simplest is:

vcs file.v -debug
./simv -gui &

If you want to use postprocessing flow, run simv, create vpd and then
do:

dve -vpd vcdplus.vpd &
