The complete set of the AI Engine simulator
(aiesimulator) options are described in this section. In most
cases, just pointing to pkg-dir is
sufficient.
| Options | Description |
|---|---|
| -h, --help | Show this help message and exit. |
| --dump-vcd FILE | Dump VCD waveform information into FILE. Because the tool appends
.vcd to the specified file
name, it is not necessary to include the file suffix. |
| --gm-init-file <file> | Read global memory image from file. This loads the memory initialization file as described in Simulating Global Memory. |
| --pkg-dir <PKG_DIR> | Specify the package directory, for example, ./Work. |
| --profile | Generates profiling data for all used cores. Allows generation of
printf trace messages on the
stdout and collects profiling
statistics during simulation. This can slightly slow down the
simulator.Optionally, can specify the
profile of specific cores by using |
| --simulation-cycle-timeout CYCLES | Run the application for a given number of cycles
after it is loaded. Tip: Specify the
--simulation-cycle-timeout option to end the
simulation session after the specified number of timeouts.
However, when specifying simulation timeout during the debug
process, be sure to specify a large number of cycles because the
debug will terminate when the timeout cycle is
reached. |
| --online [-ctf] [-wdb] |
Call Tip: The
--online option and --dump-vcd option cannot be used together. If both
options are specified, only --online option takes effect. |
| --enable-memory-check | Enables run-time program and data memory boundary access - checks. Any access violation will be reported as an [WARNING] message. By default this option is disabled. |
