HDL Cosimulation Wizard - Socket connection was closed by the other side

2 views (last 30 days)
I create a project using HDL Cosimulation Wizard which uses a simulator of Cadence Xcelium.
Souce code are successfully compiled and elabored.
Unfortunately, I get an error of socket connection.
xmsim.log is below.

What could be reasons of this issues? How to overcome it?

Hi @Xuan,

The socket connection error you are encountering during HDL Cosimulation with Cadence Xcelium can stem from several factors. Please see my comments below.

xmsim.log is below.

Comment: The log indicates that the HDL server is running in batch mode. To resolve this, restart the HDL simulator in interactive mode. This can be done by modifying the simulation settings in your HDL simulator.

You mentioned, “Unfortunately, I get an error of socket connection.”

Comment: You have to make sure that there are no firewall settings or network configurations blocking the socket connection. Temporarily disabling the firewall can help identify if this is the issue. Also, verify that all paths to the necessary files and libraries are correctly set in your MATLAB environment. Missing files can lead to connection errors.

Your log file displayed message, “issue the breakHdlSim('42755') command in MATLAB.”

Comment: The log file is clearly giving you a clue that if you wish to exit the HDL simulator without running a cosimulation session, use the command breakHdlSim('42755') as suggested in the log.

Lastly, make sure that the versions of MATLAB, Simulink, and Cadence Xcelium are compatible with each other. Sometimes, version mismatches can lead to unexpected errors.

If the issue still persist, then please contact mathworks support by clicking the link below.

By following these suggestions, hopefully you should be able to resolve the socket connection issue and successfully run your HDL cosimulation.
