The Verilog programming language interface is a powerful feature of the Verilog standard. Through this interface, a Verilog simulator can be customized to perform virtually any engineering task desired, such as adding custom design debug utilities, adding proprietary file read/write utilities and interfacing bus functional C language models to a simulator. This book serves as both a user’s guide for learning the Verilog PLI and as a comprehensive reference manual on the Verilog PLI standard. Both the TF/ACC ( PLI 1.0 ) and the VPI ( PLI 2.0 ) generations of the PLI are presented, based on the IEEE 1364 Verilog standard. The second edition of this book adds coverage of the many enhancements added in the IEEE 1364-2001 Verilog standard ( Verilog-2001 ). A CD is included, with the C source code, Verilog HDL test cases and simulation result logs for more than 75 complete PLI examples.
