Here are some PLI applications
(Yes, they are FREE)
This page provides some examples
of PLI applications so that you do not need to re-invent
the wheel while writing your first PLI application.
Over the years, PLI has evolved and now has two existing
versions - PLI1.0 and PLI2.0. When most of the simulators
support only PLI1.0, PLI2.0 gives much easier interfaces to
deal with. This page provides examples from each versions to
start you on the ramp. For an introduction to PLI,
click here. To write PLI routines, you should
have a good working knowledge of C and, of course, Verilog.
