SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Remote development of Verilog/SystemVerilog requires powerful tooling on a server; this Skill enables running VCS simulations remotely while visualizing waveforms locally.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Remote execution of VCS simulations on a Linux server with VS Code integration via VaporView.
  • Copy from verified example template to ensure a reliable baseline, then customize for your design.
  • Generate dual waveform outputs (FSDB for Verdi and VCD for VaporView) and a Makefile-driven workflow to compile and run.

Quick Start

Copy the verified example template to a working directory on your remote server, then modify the Makefile and design files to begin a simulation.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I view VCS simulation waveforms locally when running Verilog on a remote Linux server?

You can view VCS simulation waveforms locally by running simulations remotely and integrating VS Code with VaporView, which generates dual VCD and FSDB outputs for local debugging.

Can I generate both VCD and FSDB waveform files from a single remote VCS simulation run?

Yes, remote VCS simulation workflows can generate dual waveform outputs, producing FSDB files for Verdi and VCD files for VaporView simultaneously to support both verification and local debugging.

What is the best way to set up a Makefile-driven workflow for remote SystemVerilog development?

The best way is to copy a verified example template to your working directory and modify the Makefile and design files, ensuring a reliable baseline for compiling and running VCS simulations.

Does VaporView work with VS Code for remote Verilog simulation and waveform viewing?

Yes, VaporView integrates directly with VS Code, allowing you to execute VCS simulations on a remote Linux server and visualize the resulting VCD waveforms locally within your editor.

Do I need a Verdi license to view VCS waveforms when developing SystemVerilog on a remote server?

You do not need a Verdi license for local viewing if you use VaporView with VCD files, though FSDB files are also generated for Verdi if you have verification tasks requiring it.

Why use a template-based baseline for remote VCS simulation setup?

Using a template-based baseline ensures a reliable, verified starting point for your Makefile and design files, reducing setup errors when configuring remote VCS compile and run workflows.
