Table 1. GCC Path Settings
Command Settings
compile_simlib
  • Specify the GCC compiler install path using -gcc_exec_path switch
  • If not, set the env variable GCC_SIM_EXE_PATH <gcc_install_dir>
launch_simulation
  • Specify the GCC compiler install path using -gcc_install_path switch
  • If not, set the property set_property simulator.<name>_gcc_install_dir <gcc_path> [current_project]
  • If not, set the env variable GCC_SIM_EXE_PATH <gcc_install_dir>
Note: If these recommended settings are not found, Vivado would pick install path from PATH env variable. Also, it is always recommended to use tool native SystemC compilers.
