- VCS Tutorial (this tutorial was developed for EE271 and it is fine to use for EE296A. Note that SystemVerilog source file must be named as name.sv)

These are my .cshrc, .login, and .synopsys_dc.setup files

If VCS and/or design_analyzer do not work on your account,

please create your .cshrc, .login, and .synopsys_dc.setup files

from mine (make sure to save your old ones)

make sure you have “setenv VCS_ARCH_OVERRIDE linux”

statement in your .cshrc file and each “setenv” statement MUST start

a new line.

If you want to use Synopsys software remotely then you must install

VNC on your PC. Instructions for downloading, installing, and

setting up VNC is at

https://unix.engr.sjsu.edu/wiki/doku.php?id=vncaccess

and please follow the “VNC Tutorial” closely.

VCS works with SSH and Hummingbird/Exceed. So if you have

Hummingbird/Exceed on your PC, you do not need to install VNC

if you only want to use VCS remotely
