C-Simulation Configuration - 2023.1 English

The csim options apply to the C-simulation process used to validate the C/C++ language for the design. Refer to Verifying Code with C Simulation for more information.

csim.O

Enables optimizing compilation which eliminates debug constructs. The default is false and compilation is done in debug mode to enable debugging.

csim.O=true

csim.argv

Specifies an argument list for the behavioral test bench. The specified <arg> will be passed to the main() function in the C test bench.

csim.argv=arg1 arg2

csim.clean

Enables clean build. The default is false. Without this option the design will compile incrementally.

csim.clean=true

csim.code_analyzer

Enable code analysis and interactive GUI report.

csim.code_analyzer=0

csim.ldflags

Specifies the options passed to the linker for simulation. This option is typically used to pass include path information or library information for the C/C++ test bench.

csim.ldflags=ldExample

csim.mflags

Provides for options to be passed to the compiler for C simulation. This is typically used to speed up compilation.

csim.mflags=mExample

csim.profile

Enable the creation of the Pre-Synthesis Control Flow.

csim.profile=true

csim.setup

When this option is specified, the simulation binary will be created in the csim directory of the current HLS component, but simulation will not be executed. Simulation can be launched later from the compiled executable. The default is false, and simulation is run after setup is complete.

csim.setup=true
