AR# 33429 ISE Simulator (ISim) - "INFO: Simulator is stopped" when performing VCD dump

Keywords: iSim

I use the following verilog tasks to write perform a VCD dump for debugging:

$dumpfile("myisim.vcd");
$dumpvars (0, board);

However, when I run the simulation, I encounter the following message:

INFO: Simulator is stopped.

Using "show time", it can be seen that the simulator stopped at 1 ps.

How can I resolve this issue?

This issue can occur if the user attempts to perform a VCD dump of all traceable objects in a large design.

To resolve this issue, please limit the scope of the VCD dump via the $dumpvars verilog task to a relevant section of the design.

This issue is currently under investigation in order to better address this condition in a future release of the ISE Simulator
