/gf-sim

GateFlow Simulate Command

Compile and run a SystemVerilog simulation using Verilator.

Note: The /gf orchestrator uses skills/gf-sim internally, which provides structured output (GATEFLOW-RESULT blocks) for automated processing. This command version is for direct user invocation and provides human-friendly output.

Instructions

1. Identify files:

   • Testbench file (usually *_tb.sv)
   • DUT files (modules being tested)
   • If not specified, auto-detect from testbench includes

2. Compile with Verilator:

   verilator --binary -Wall <dut-files> <testbench>
   

3. Run simulation:

   ./obj_dir/V<top_module>
   

4. Check results:

   • Look for $display output
   • Check for $error or $fatal calls
   • Verify $finish was reached

5. Report outcome:

   • PASS: Simulation completed without errors
   • FAIL: Errors detected, show relevant output

Common Issues

• Unresolved module: Missing file in compilation
• Multiple tops: Specify --top-module
