Problem running ADK   Easy_FRBM simulation

Note: This was originally posted on 18th January 2012 at http://forums.arm.com

Hello,
I am new to AMBA system design, and so am trying to read and work through some of the examples given in the AMBA Design Kit. 
I am using BP010-BU-01001-r3p0-00rel3 ,  and unpacked and installed everything as directed in the users guide doc, and I am trying to follow the Easy_FRBM example.
The only customization I did to the setup is the choose VCS as the simulator, instead of ModelSim... otherwise I have not modified anything else.

The problem is that I can't get the simulation to work:

cd BP010-BU-01001-r3p0-00rel3/design/TBEasy_FRBM/integration/
make rtl


But when I do that the simulation fails. I get this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Chronologic VCS simulator copyright 1991-2008
Contains Synopsys proprietary information.
Compiler version C-2009.06; Runtime version C-2009.06;  Jan 18 11:43 2012

                0 FileReader: Reading stimulus file filestim.m2d

Warning-[STASKW_CO1] Cannot open file
  The file 'filestim.m2d' could not be opened. No such file or directory.
  Please ensure that the file exists with proper permissions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone seen this before?  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Christian

    OK, thanks,
    I do see the TUBE messages, and as you said, it appears the test did pass successfully.
    I guess its just some stuff they need to clean up, but nothing serious.

    Christian,

    As you are using the latest version of AMBA Design Kit you should probably be sending these types of questions directly to ARM as I guess you have a support agreement for this kit.

    But I have just tried to run the same simulation, and although I get the same messages displayed, the simulation still runs after this point and I suppose you saw all the various "TUBE" messages reporting the tests passing successfully - so no problem.

    Looking at the code it looks like the missing "filestim.m2d" file is the default FRBM stimulus file, but as this can be overridden using a parameter, the testbench has passed "filestim.frd" as this parameter (see the EASY_FRBM.v file), and that is the file that has then driven the stimulus.

    So just ignore the message would be my suggestion.
