The main goal is to give developers a choice in case all Questa licenses are blocked. When working on some smaller component or simply trying out some experiments, the Vivado simulator works quite well. Also, running the design through two different simulators sometimes reveals problems in the testbench, at least that was the case for me when I tried it on the |

Code coverage
For sign-off purposes it is useful to have a textual code coverage available to append to the design. This PR adds that functionality, but also extends the Library definition with a boolean element
ReportCov, which can be used to limit the reporting to specific files. The idea is to be able to create a coverage report for only the files associated with a specific library, but also to ignore e.g. files associated only with verification.Xsim
The
xsimsupport has also been improved such that compilation is now much faster, which was achieved by switching to using a project file listing all source files and removing the explicit compilation of each source file individually. In addition, the flow was also updated to support the VCD dumping functionality, starting the GUI as well as the-toand-durationflags to control a batch simulation.
