 37 @83 ns Stopping SystemC Schedular
 38 SystemC: simulation stopped by user.

For the SystemC to work with Verilog PLI 2.0 or VPI following sequence of operations need to be performed.

• Callback :Add callback on all the output signals of HDL, clock and reset in such a way that, when ever they change. PLI code gets control.
• Sample : Sample all the inputs to SystemC or outputs of HDL.
• sc_start(time) : sc_start method of systemC with parameter time. Where time is difference between last call time and current time.
• Drive : Drive all the outputs of SystemC or inputs to HDL.

Other then this, we need to perform few other tasks listed below.

• Initilize the SystemC Model, when PLI task is executed for first time.
• Type conversion between SystemC and PLI
• Terminate SystemC model, Like closing VCD file, when $finish is encountered in HDL.
