NAME
verga - VERrilog simulator for tkGAte
SYNOPSIS
verga
[-eslqi] [-d dtype] [-S script] [-P mods] [-t mod] [-B dir] [-D hash] [-W wmode] [files...]
DESCRIPTION
Verga
is a verilog simulator designed to be used with tkgate,
but it can also be used as a stand-alone simulator.
Verga documentation can be found at:
https://bitbucket.org/starling13/tkgate
OPTIONS
The options are as follows:
- -e
-
Dump the list of error codes and associated messages that can be produced by
verga. This option is primarily for developer purposes.
- -s
-
Scan a Verilog file and output information about its modules and nets. This
option is primarily used internally by tkgate.
- -l
-
Show the verga license.
- -q
-
Run in 'quiet' mode, suppressing extraneous messages.
- -i
-
Run in 'interactive' mode. This mode is intended primarily for use when verga
is being invoked by tkgate.
- -d dtype
-
Type of delays to use. Can be 'min', 'max' or 'typical'.
- -S script
-
Load simulation scripts for each '-S' switch.
- -P mod
-
Print the named module from the parsed structure for each '-P' specified.
- -t mod
-
Override the default and designate 'mod' as the top-level module.
- -B dir
-
Directory to use as base directory when loading files
- -D hash
-
Delete the input files after loading if 'hash' exactly matches a hash code
computed on the file name. This option should only be used by tkgate which
writes the file to simulate to a temporary file before invoking the simulator.
- -W wmode
-
Mode for warning message handling. Can be 1 for "ignore warnings", 2
for "report warnings only if there were errors", 3 for "always report
warnings" or 4 for "always report warnings and stop simulator even if
only warnings".
HISTORY & CREDITS
TkGate begin life as an undergraduate project at Carnegie Mellon
University (CMU) in 1987. At that time it was called simply 'gate'
and ran under the 'wm' window manager, a windowing system developed at
CMU before X11 was widely used. In this incarnation it was used by
students in the computer architecture course at CMU to develop a
simple microprocessor (dubbed "The Bat Computer"). After laying
dormant for several years, it was resurrected in 1991 and ported to
run under X11 with the Xlib API. In this incarnation it was used
several times by students in the introductory digital logic course,
but after the author graduated and left CMU, it went into hibernation
again. This Tcl/Tk incarnation was begun in 1998. While there is
certainly some cruftyness in the implementation in places due to the
multiple reincarnations, many new features have been added since the
older wm and X11 versions, and the interface has been made much easier
to use.
