Virtual Prototyping CMake projects

SystemC and SystemC-AMS

• SystemC Download: SystemC

• SystemC-AMS Download: SystemC-AMS

  • choose a directory to extract the archives to
  • cd into systemc folder
  • ./configure
  • make
  • make install
  • cd into systemc-ams folder
  • ./configure --with-layout=unix CXXFLAGS="-DSC_INCLUDE_EXTRA_STD_HEADERS" --with-systemc=/path/to/systemc/folder (for some systems ./configure --with-systemc=/path/to/systemc/folder is enough)
  • make
  • make install

Setup environment variables for cmake

• Add to .*rc file of the shell you are using (e.g .bashrc) in your home:

  • export SYSTEMC=/directory/of/systemc
  • export SYSTEMCAMS=/directory/of/systemc-ams
  • export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SYSTEMC/lib-linux64:$SYSTEMC/lib:$SYSTEMC/lib64:$SYSTEMCAMS/lib-linux64

New Project

• Use ./createProject.sh projectName to create a new project folder with all files from the blank project.

Compile

• cd to your project base folder (with CMakeLists.txt):
• cmake .
  • if compilation in the next step fails dues to some weird error (like errors with std::...gets) ,you can try different CXXFLAGS with
    • ./cmakeVoid.sh
    • ./cmakeNormalClang.sh
    • ./cmakeVoidClang.sh
• make
• executable binary is ./bin/run
