Bitvis_vip_uart testbench not working as documented

Hi,

I’ve tried to run the bitvis_vip_uart design using Modelsim 10.5b under windows.
If you do it as documented, it says “No design specified” (with or without the -c)
If you go to the script directory and type: do compile_all_and_simulate.do it works.

Hi Eric.
Do you invoke the script from the bitvis_vip_uart/sim folder, and how do you make the call, and from within Modelsim or from the terminal?

Hi Marius,

From within Modelsim
(so -c isn’t usefull here)
ModelsimExecution

Why do you call “vsim” inside Modelsim? That command is for starting Modelsim, but you have already started it. This should probably be more clear in the doc; when calling a script from within Modelsim you have to leave out the “vsim -c” part of the command.

A note how to start it from within Modelsim or command line will help.

As far as I know, the -c says to use it from commandline.
And I see vsim in scripts, used in theh Modelsim gui, also used to start the simulation
But I’m not a script “guru” so I didn’t see the differerce.

Nice to get your feedback, Erick! There are probably others that also have had trouble with mixing terminal and gui simulations so I will update the documentation :wink:
