Get internal signals of vhdl design in ncvhdl (alternative to modelsim's signal spy)

Question

In ModelSim you can use something like

in modelsim we can use init_signal_spy(\"../.../sig\", mysignal);

to get deep hierarchy signals. Is there a way to get

Answer 1

As one can see here, the function is called nc_mirror.

 nc_mirror (destination => "destination",

           source => "source",

           verbose => "verbose"); 

It takes a destination and a source and does just the same as init_signal_spy does for modelsim. The third parameter is optional. Additionally it supports mirroring arrays or records.

In this interesting answer a wrapper package is provided that converts the nc_mirror or init_spy_signal (and others) to a function "probe".
