Description

While I was debugging flash_controller I noticed that CI doesn't run the same tool version than what we were using locally through the nix package.

I think it would be nice to:

  1. report the toolversion of xcelium and VCS in the nightly/weekly runs (e.g. here XCELIUM-23.09.002 instead of just XCELIUM)
  2. align the version of nix and CI

I'm not sure if we are allowed to publish the exact tool version. If not, is there a way to make this information available internally?

Research direction

Start by comparing the tool versions used in the nix package with those used by the nightly and weekly CI runs, then inspect the generated reports linked in the issue. Done means the CI reports identify the Xcelium and VCS versions, the nix and CI versions are aligned, and the publication or internal-visibility decision is resolved.
