OK, I see. It seems that the thing is pretty complicated and involves much
more than just VHDL language, requires a simulator with SWIFT interface,
etc. Is the whole point of this to hide the model implementation in a binary
or are there other reasons? Assuming I wanted to do a functionally similar
thing, I guess I could simply add a command control port to the model entity
and have it controlled by external procedures the way I wanted. Is there a
downside to this approach compared to what Synopsys offers (besides hiding
the implementation)?
