I can't say I know how to do this off the top of my head, but I think Automation can handle this. Any ideas for how to automate this, either with ASCII file or DXF manipulation or something else, would be greatly appreciated. The manual ways to do this would be to create test point components in the design and manually overlay the test point component onto the DXF test point circle, or manually type in coordinates for each test point. The fixture house gave us a 1:1 DXF file that we can bring into PADS which has all of the test points present as simple 2D circles. We would prefer to have an automated way of doing this to not only save time, but also greatly reduce chance for human error (since we have 150 or so test points). Our biggest challenge with this is that we need to layout the custom interface PCB so that the test points on the PCB matches exact coordinate locations of the test points on the UUT. In other words, the UUT and Interface PCB make a sandwich with the nails in the middle. This means that the bed of nails will touch test points located on the bottom of the UUT on the top of the nail while also touching a test point located on the top of the interface board with the bottom of the nail. We are using PADS Layout 9.5 to design a custom interface PCB to interface with a UUT using a test fixture with double-sided nails. But in GCC there's no warning of that, meaning GCC can find those libararies, but not QuestaSim, why? for elf_strptr) the elf-loader.vpi is using. Seems to me that ModelSim missed some libraries (e.g. I have been working on this for few days and really appreciate if anyone will help. # ** Error (suppressible): (vsim-PLI-3002) Failed to load PLI object file "./elf-loader.vpi". elf-loader.vpi: undefined symbol: elf_strptr. # ** Error (suppressible): (vsim-3197) Load of "./elf-loader.vpi" failed. However, The other elf-loader keeps generating errors that I never get it right by trying out all the gcc configurations I know. Then I start QuestaSim loading those two vpi. Note That I have two vpi: jtag_vpi and elf-loader. o elf-loader.vpi elf-loader.o vpi_wrapper.o I/imec/software/mentor/release2015/questa_v10.4/questasim/include/ \ lz -std=c99 -c -g -fPIC -DMODELSIM_VPI -fno-stack-protector\
The simulation need some systemC functions for co-simulation. I am using QuestaSim for Verilog simulation.
