How is the HDL simulation timeout specified when using OpenCPI?

Question

My simulation fails to stop until an inbuilt timeout is reached. The default is 3600 seconds. How do I set this to a different time period?

The openCPI version is 2.4.3.

Any suggestions?

This is my first use of OpenCPI.

You can change the default timeout for tests using the Timeout attribute in the Tests element of your test XML like below:

<Tests UseHdlFileIO="true" Timeout="30">
    <Case>
        <!-- Inputs and Outputs in here -->
    </Case>
</Tests>

The timeout is defined in seconds. More information can be found in section 13.3.5 of the OpenCPI Component Development Guide
