Re: [Iverilog-devel] How to get .fst dump file to update more frequently?

[Cary R. <cy...@ya...>]

ctrl-C and then typing $dumpflush() when needed and then resuming should make this work on your schedule.

Brian,

Looking in sys_fst.c, it appears that $dumpflush called periodically in your testbench at the end of some timestep should do what you want.  You'd have to make some timing measurements based on your cycles per second to update the waveforms as often as you want.  Note that the filesize will get bigger the more often you force flushes.
