modelsim仿真时让状态机波形显示状态的名字

在使用Verilog编写有限状态机等逻辑的时候，状态机的各个状态通常以参数表示（如IDLE等）。当使用ModelSim仿真的时候，状态机变量在wave窗口中以二进制编码的形式显示，如下面所示，这种显示形式不是很直观，但我们可以使用ModelSim提供的命令将状态机变量以“文本”形式的参数名显示，从而有利于调试。

下面以一个实例来说明。

    编写run.do文件

 1 vlib work
 2 vlog -novopt simple_fsm.v simple_fsm_tb.v
 3 vsim -voptargs=+acc work.simple_fsm_tb
 4 add wave *
 5 virtual type { {0x00 IDLE} {0x01 S0} {0x02 S1} } FSM_TYPE
 6 virtual function {(FSM_TYPE)/simple_fsm_tb/u_simple_fsm/curr_state} state1
 7 add wave u_simple_fsm/curr_state 
 8 add wave -color pink /simple_fsm_tb/u_simple_fsm/state1
 9 virtual function {(FSM_TYPE)/simple_fsm_tb/u_simple_fsm/next_state} state2
10 add wave u_simple_fsm/next_state 
11 add wave -color pink /simple_fsm_tb/u_simple_fsm/state2
12 run 1000ns

    编写run.bat

1 vsim -do run.do

    在文件夹内双击run.bat即可。如果双击该批处理文件程序没有运行，说明vsim命令没有执行，解决方案请参考http://www.cnblogs.com/ZcsTech/p/3495578.html
  

    运行结果如下：

 

 

 

 

virtual type {state0 state1 state2 state3} mystateType

virtual function {(mystateType)mysignal} myConvertedSignal

add wave myConvertedSignal

virtual type {{16'h2000 IDLE} {16'h1000 WRITE} {16'h40 DB_MSG} {16'h400 READ_SOF}} FSM_TYPE

virtual function {(FSM_TYPE)/ep_tb/ep_sim1/user_sim_host/target_sim_user/state} state1

add wave /ep_tb/ep_sim1/user_sim_host/target_sim_user/state1

virtual function {(FSM_TYPE)/ep_tb/ep_sim1/user_sim_host/target_sim_user/next_state} state2

add wave /ep_tb/ep_sim1/user_sim_host/target_sim_user/state2
