Tried to find a script to use VIvado Xsim, but could not find it, is it supported?

Hi, currently it is not supported

Just a little extra info on the topic: I tried using xsim in the past, but I faced a lot of issues. In the end, once I managed to get a working script, the simulation started but was not progressing.

I never investigated why so, but given that the free simulator in Vivado is quite slow for such large designs, I did not invest more time.

So, I believe it is possible to add support for this, but it won’t be as simple as adding support for, say, VCS.

hope this helps.
