Question regarding simulating the DPI in QuestaSim

[rayan123]

Hi fellas,

I am new to this domain of DPI
I am trying to use DPI function. I have some .v files, .c files, .h files and a .so file.
I compiled .v and .c files using the command vlog -sv -dpiheader <filename_dpi.h> <filename.v> <filename_tb.v> <filename1.c> <filename2.c>

I know that i have to use the .so file in vsim command as it is the shared library.
But i am not getting the how to use it.
Any help in this regard is appreciated.

Thanks

The .so file is created by vlog if you use it to compile your C files, and then loaded automatically by vsim.

BTW, you should not use the -sv switch. Instead, use *.sv for SystemVerilog files and keep *.v for Verilog-only files.
