For a conan-only version please check the conan-only branch.

A simple C++ CMake project to jump-start development of SystemC-based models and systems. It also shows the power of using a package manager:

git clone https://github.com/Minres/SystemC-Quickstart cd SystemC-Quickstart/ cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug cmake --build build 

gets you to build a SystemC simulation uisng an unoptimized Debug build (for an optimized release build replace Debug with Release). To deploy other libraries just add them into the package list in CMakeLists.txt e.g.:

conan_cmake_configure(REQUIRES systemc/2.3.3 systemc-cci/1.0.0 systemc-scv/2.0.1 fmt/8.0.1 OPTIONS systemc-cci:shared=False SETTINGS compiler.cppstd=${CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD} GENERATORS cmake_find_package) 

is sufficient to be able to start using the FMT library in your models.

When using Eclipse CDT as developemnt environment it is highly recommended to install Martin Webers cmake4eclipse extension as it imports not only the cmake configuration settings rather also those coming from the conan packages

Currently only Linux and MacOS are tested

Building the project from source is simple. First you need to install conan.io according to the instructions and setup the Minres remote:

pip install -r requirements.txt conan profile new default --detect conan remote add minres https://git.minres.com/api/packages/Tooling/conan 

Then clone the SystemC-Quickstart repo:

git clone https://github.com/Minres/SystemC-Quickstart.git 

Now install needed packages (SystemC, CCI and SCV library), build the project and run it:

cd SystemC-Quickstart cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug cmake --build build build/TransactionExample 

Et voila you completed your first SystemC simulation even with transaction recording! If you would like to analyze the recording output further just download the latest release of SCViewer to open the transaction_example.txlog.

Install needed packages (SystemC and SCV library) and set SYSTEMC_HOME and SCV_HOME accordingly (if you install SCV in the same location than SystemC then SYSTEMC_HOME environment variable is sufficient).

Clone the SystemC-Quickstart repo:

git clone https://github.com/Minres/SystemC-Quickstart.git cd SystemC-Quickstart 

fix the CMakeLists.txt by removing the line

setup_conan() 

Build the project and run it:

cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug cmake --build build build/TransactionExample 

If you encounter issues using conan when linking wrt. c++11 symbols you might have run into GCC ABI incompatibility introduced from GCC 5.0 onwards. You can fix this by adding '-s compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11' to the conan call or changing compiler.libcxx to

compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11
