Outline

The FSDB format is a binary format for simulation output generated by EDA logic simulation tools. It is mainly used by the Verdi toolchain (Synopsys) and needs a tool installation (FsdbReader). Users need to configure (path to FsdbReader) and compile the native extension using the native extension preference pages.

Platforms:	32/64bit 32/64bit 32/64bit Depending on the availability of external tool.
Requirements:	Tool installation (FsdbReader) Users need to configure (path to FsdbReader) and compile the native extension.
Known limitations:	The reader uses external libraries over which toem has no control. File size limited by virtual memory and temporary storage
Status:	Stable
Operations:	Load
Parameters:	Timeout : Timeout (value in ms) for database access. Load on request : Load the signal data when required (true by default).
Configuration:	Default Reader Configuration with modified parameters.

Native extension

The reader uses a native extension, meaning that it calls a native application (converter) to open and read data from the input file.

Usage

The reader can be used to open workspace resources.

---

---

Configuration

You can modify the reader behavior under Preferences->impulse->Serializer->FSDB:

• You may modify the default parameters (see "Default Parameters"); 
• You may add a default reader configuration and modify its parameters. Then you can select between multiple configurations (containing different parameter sets) when using the serializer.

Parse errors

The reader will provide a parse error message if the input can not be read. The message usually contains the error position, the reason for the failure and a stack trace.

If you can not resolve the problem (e.g. obvious format error in the input file), please send this message together with the input file to "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.".
