Preparation for Debug

Do the following:
  1. Select menu Verilog > Set Verilog-A Release/Debug Mode.... If you have a supported Microsoft Visual Studio Installation installed you should see the following\\ select Debug Mode (Microsoft compiler)\\ If you do not have a supported Microsoft Visual Studio Installation installed or there is a problem with the installation, you will see a message box explaining this. See Installing Visual Studio above for further details
  2. Clear the Verilog-A cache using menu Verilog > Clear Verilog-A Cache. This will force you Verilog-A code to be recompiled
  3. Run simulation as normal. Instead of the usual messages in the command shell you see with the default compiler, you should see something like this:

    \texttt{Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 14.33.31630.0} \texttt{Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.}

    \texttt{Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.33.31630 for x64} \texttt{Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.}

If the above steps are successful you are ready to start a debug session.
