How to run a ModelSim using TCL script
Once you completed the HDL coding in ModelSim or any text editor with file extension‘.vhd’for VHDL and ‘ .vo’ for Verilog then, we can use TCL script to run the entire project .
For example I have a vhdl file of name “full_adder.vhd” and write a test bench to run the fulladder with name “tb_full_adder.vhd”.we will check how this TCL work for this project.
TCL script is
vlib work
vmap work
vcom full_adder.vhd
vcom tb_full_adder.vhd
vsim tb_full_adder
add wave -radix decimal -r /*
run 1 ms
Explanation
Vlib work Creates a library with name work
Vmap work Mapping all the design units into work
Vcom full_adder.vhd Compile the full adder design unit
Vcom tb_full_adder.vhd Compile the test bench for the full adder
Vsim tb_full_adder Simulate the test bench for the full adder (don’t add the file extension)
add wave -radix decimal -r /* Adding all the signals to the wave window
run 1 ms Running the full adder design unit to 1 ms with test bench that you write
