Figure 2: Main window components
Figure 3: Workstation Toolbar
Building a project includes running the compiler and simulating designs. All build options are
available from the Build menu and the toolbar, shown in Figure 3.
Some options combine multiple build actions into single option or button, for example, Compile +
Link.
Compile the design by selecting Compile from the Build menu, or by using the Compile button
on the toolbar and make sure you have no errors in your file.
To simulate the design, run the compile, link, and simulate steps. You will see the ”Hello World!”
message in the workstation message window.
In this manual: Source code files (.bsv) and Bluespec Development Workstation project files
(.bspec) are provided for all examples in this manual. Open the project (.bspec) file to run
any of the examples. To run the provided Hello World example from workstation, open the file
getting_started/hello_world/hello_world.bspec. The source code and directory location for
all examples are in the Appendix A.
