QUESTA release and UVM version support

Hi,

My company is planning to migrate complex VIPS like PCI GEN3 USB 3 and ethernet to UVM from OVM.
We are currently using QUESTA 10.01 version and observing that it takes too much time in compilation compare to what it was taking for OVM. is there any reason for this?
We are using UVM 1.1. when i try to see in installation are in QUESTA, it shows UVM1.0EA version as installed library. Is it that my QUESTA 10.01 is not supporting UVM 1.1?

I would recommend using Questa 10.0d, which is the latest release and contains a pre-compiled version of UVM 1.1.

I think you must be using 10.0, which was released before UVM 1.1 was released.

If you still have problem with Questa 10.0d, I’d suggest that you contact Mentor Graphics support.

Peryer,

I’m using Questa 10.0d now. I’m seeing OVM 2.1.2 and UVM 1.1 libraries.

But still, I could not able to run tests on UVM/OVM.

May I know, if anything I need to compile or source? Or I need to give any option in command line?

Please advise.

Thanks

John

Now, got it…!

Here is the command to use UVM_DPI

gcc-4.2.1-mingw32vc9/bin/g++.exe -g -DQUESTA -W -shared -Bsymbolic -Ic:/QuestaSim_10.0d/include uvm-1.1a/src/dpi/uvm_dpi.cc -o uvm-1.1/uvm_dpi.dll c:/QuestaSim_10.0d/win32/mtipli.dll -lregex
