Can you synthesize the RISC-V rocket chip test harness module?

Question

After I setup the rocket-chip, it generated example top level Verilog. Can I synthesize the testharness.v module? I manually import the code into vivado, but got syntax error in SimDTM.v

(import "DPI-C" function int debug_tick)

• vivado doesn't know what to do with DPI-C
• Did I miss some package?

Answer 1

I'm a bit late, but you can't synthesize the testharness. It's used for testing in simulation only. DPI is a simulation-only construct.
