Using the VCS / SystemC Cosimulation Interface
Miscellaneous
The TLI generator uses Perl5 which needs to be installed on the local
host machine. Perl5 is picked up in the following order from your
installation paths (1=highest priority):
1. use ${SYSCAN_PERL}, if (defined)
2. /usr/local/bin/perl5
3. perl5 from local path and print warning
Using the Built-in SystemC Simulator
VCS contains a built-in SystemC 2.0.1 which it uses by default. No
setup is necessary to use this simulator (in earlier releases, the
interface required the SYSTEMC environment variable).
Supported Compilers
The following compilers are supported:
• Linux: gcc 3.3.4 (default) and 3.4.6
• Solaris: SC 6.2, gcc 3.3.4 (default) and 3.4.6
Compiling Source Files
If you need to compile source files, which include systemc.h, in your
own environment and not with the syscan script, then add
compiler flag -I$VCS_HOME/include/systemc.
