| ## VCS Support |
| |
| Kelvin supports using VCS simulator. To enable VCS support, the following |
| environment variables need to be set: |
| |
| ``` |
| export VCS_HOME=${PATH_TO_YOUR_VCS_HOME} |
| export LM_LICENSE_FILE=${YOUR_LICENSE_FILE} |
| ``` |
| |
| `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` and `PATH` should also be updated. |
| |
| ``` |
| export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${VCS_HOME}"/linux64/lib |
| export PATH=$PATH:${VCS_HOME}/bin/ |
| ``` |
| |
| A VCS simulation can defined with the `vcs_testbench_test` rule. For example |
| use in a BUILD file: |
| |
| ``` |
| load("//rules:vcs.bzl", "vcs_testbench_test") |
| |
| vcs_testbench_test( |
| name = "foobar_tb", |
| srcs = ["Foobar_tb.sv"], |
| module = "Foobar_tb", |
| deps = ":foobar", |
| ) |
| ``` |
| |
| By default, we disable VCS within bazel. Invoke |
| `bazel {build,run,test} --config=vcs` to enable VCS support. |
