Since I'm using a 64-bit machine, I had to do some extra work to get ncsim running: 1. NCSim requires the shared object file to have a '.so' extension 2. You must give it the '+nc64bit' option. I'm curious, when it ran the various Ruby-VPI tests, did it give you lots of errors like this: ERROR: VPI NOTSCOPE Object which is not a scope passed to vpi_handle_by_name. ./hw5_unit.v, 16: I can't figure out why NCSim wants a vpiScope object to be passed as the first parameter to vpi_handle_by_name() when that function takes a string as the first parameter. > I prefer to use VCS since our company has over > > 1000 vcs licenses compared to 100 ncsim licenses. Understood. I'll do my best to help.
