I saw, and tried in the past already, to simulate the Cortex-M0. It does not really matter efficiency, customization and so on, but only the learning process behind a steup for a correct very basic simulation.I was trying to setup a Linux machine, when in the basic steps of the quick guide, I read:
Verilog simulator requires the install of one of the following:
QUESTASIM_HOME
Now, I tried with ModelSim (thinking was like QuestaSim), but apparently the free version (Student Edition) works only on Windows and the code may be more than 10000 LOC, making it not executable.As a student, is it possible to play with any kind of emulator? Are there (even buggy) alternatives for these emulators?Thanks to all
The quickstart guide specified which simulators are supported because the testbench included simulation scripts for these simulators. However, since the design is just Verilog (2001 I think), technically you could use other simulators, but you will have to port the simulation scripts.
When it comes to using of simulator it is not good option to use when you want to setup a machine as it only helps you up to some stage only after that you cannot work on it. Better get help from www.nerdywriters.co.uk/ technical experts where they can suggest you what you should be using to setup a machine.
