Specifying the PLI/VPI file to load

The PLI applications are specified as follows:

• As a list in the Veriuser entry in the modelsim.ini file:

Veriuser = pliapp1.so pliapp2.so pliappn.so 

• As a list in the PLIOBJS environment variable:

% setenv PLIOBJS "pliapp1.so pliapp2.so pliappn.so" 

• As a -pli option to the simulator (multiple options are allowed):

-pli pliapp1.so -pli pliapp2.so -pli pliappn.so





 

 
Note: On Windows platforms, the file names shown above should end with ".dll" rather than ".so".




 

The various methods of specifying PLI applications can be used simultaneously. The libraries are loaded in the order listed above. Environment variable references can be used in the paths to the libraries in all cases.

See also Appendix A - ModelSim Variables for more information on the modelsim.ini file.
