Replacement of Xcelium

[rswarbrick]

Hi there.

I'd probably suggest trying to use Verilator as an initial step. The best starting point is the "simple system" (see here for a description).

Our Questa support is a bit patchy, mainly because the main Ibex dev team don't have Questa licences. We'd definitely appreciate improvements, but it probably isn't the easiest place to start.

Hello @rswarbrick,
Sorry i forgot to mention that i need to test the integration of Ibex Core with RISCV-DV to study it, as i want to integrate my design files of RV64IMC architecture with RISCV-DV.
Thus, i'm not able to do so because of the absence of Xcelium.

If you want to use UVM testing, you'll need a commercial EDA tool at the moment. In that case, I guess you will have to get things working with Questa. Please file bugs if you find dodgy bits!
