Running irun (v9.2) on .vo files

Sun Aug 28, 2011 12:24 am   

Hi,

I defined the EDA settings to generate the functional simulation files
in Quartus 9.0 sp2. As a result, I got the .vo, .sft and a .tcl file.
However, when I try to run the Cadence simulator on this file, it is
giving me an error.The command I am trying to run is:

irun -f <file_list.f> <testbench.v>
where the file_list.f has the .vo file and the .tcl file paths in it.
I get the following errors:

irun: *E,FMUK: The type of the file (<file_name.vo>) could not be
determined.
irun: *E,FMUK: The type of the file (<file_name.tcl>) could not be
determined.

Is this the proper way to execute "irun" on a .vo file? If not, could
somebody please let me know the same?

Thanks,
kbhar

irun uses the file extension to determine what language you want the
file compiled as: Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL or SystemC. The .vo
extension is not one that it recognizes as being any of these
languages. I don't know what it is supposed to be myself, though I
would guess Verilog. If so, you can change the extension to the
normal .v, or I believe there are mechanisms to tell it what language
a particular extension represents.

TCL scripts aren't compiled, and I don't think irun knows what to do
with them based on the extension. If it is an input command file for
simulation, then I believe you would say -input file_name.tcl.
