I am not sure why my post which I sent out yesterday did not arrive on
the list, so here it is again.. APOLOGIES if you received multiple copies:

Hi all,

I am planning to do some changes to the rtl code of
openrisc just playing around a little. I am able to do
run_rtl_regression and the tests are compiling/running
fine. it says test passed. I am not sure how the
script concludes that the certain test has "passed" or
"failed" based on what was written in the general.log
file. The general.log file is written into by
or1200_monitor.v which is a simulation monitor.
Could someone please explain this process..of how
or1200_monitor works and how whether or not a test is
passed or failed is established.

I wanted to compile and run some of my own code..and
was wondering how one should check for correctness?
I mean when my code runs on an actual machine I can
used printfs to sort of guide me throught debugging
the expected output..how do I do this when I run my
code on a verilog simulation.

Hope I get some replies this time :|

Thanks!
