How can I set a breakpoint when running ModelSim?
To set a breakpoint in ModelSim, the steps are:
-
From the transcript subwindow in the ModelSim Main window, enter the command,
view source
This will result in the source window being displayed.
-
In the Workspace subwindow in the ModelSim main window, select the module
which contains the source code that you want to set a breakpoint in.
This will cause the source code for that module to
be displayed in the source window.
-
In the source window, select a number on the left side of the source window that represents the line number of an executable line of code.
A number will be blue if the line it corresponds to is executable. A red quadrangle symbol will be displayed next to the number which indicates that you have set a breakpoint at that line of code. When you run the simulation, the simulation will halt when it arrives at the
the line of code that you have set a breakpoint for. To remove the breakpoint, select the red quadrangle symbol.
