[Question] Is WAL able to load Synopsys .vpd files? #6
Comments
Hi Alex, at the moment .vpd files are not supported. Anyways, we will look into the .vpd format and try to add support to WAL soon. Regards |
We just checked and you should be able to convert your .vpd to .fst using gtkwaves "vcd2fst" converter. NAME SYNTAX DESCRIPTION OPTIONS |
Hi Lucas, thank you for your fast answer. I will try to convert my vpd files to the fst format and let you know if it worked out. Best regards, |
Hi Alex, Lucas |
Hi Lucas, I checked out the new version and I'm able to load fst files in WAL. I can generate the fst files using the converter from gtkwave, but unfortunately I have to first convert from vpd to vcd and then from vcd to fst. When I try to immediately convert from vpd to fst e.g. with I think WAL is quite powerful and it would be awesome if you support vpd files at some point :) Best regards, |
I am playing around with the tool and wanted to do some analysis of my simulations of the BOOM core.
I simulated the core using Chipyard and Synopsys VCS and get the according vpd files, which I can't load into WAL (throwing following error message)
'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xd5 in position 21: invalid continuation byte
It is possible to convert it to a vcd file by using vpd2vcd but since it is less compressed the vcd files become really large(e.g. 27 MB converted to 2.2 GB)
Is there a possibility to use vpd files without converting to vcd?
Best regards,
Alex
