Simulation and Verification

[iostrym]

Hi,

on windows on modelsim 6.5b, I run following command :

compxlib -s mti_se -l verilog -lib all -arch virtex5 -w -dir E:/WORKING/Xilinx_projects/ddr3_ctrl_test/compiled_lib/

and I get following libraries compiled and modelsim.ini is modified like this :

secureip = E:\WORKING\Xilinx_projects\ddr3_ctrl_test\compiled_lib\/secureip
unisims_ver = E:\WORKING\Xilinx_projects\ddr3_ctrl_test\compiled_lib\/unisims_ver
unimacro_ver = E:\WORKING\Xilinx_projects\ddr3_ctrl_test\compiled_lib\/unimacro_ver
simprims_ver = E:\WORKING\Xilinx_projects\ddr3_ctrl_test\compiled_lib\/simprims_ver
xilinxcorelib_ver = E:\WORKING\Xilinx_projects\ddr3_ctrl_test\compiled_lib\/xilinxcorelib_ver

But on linux on modelsim 6.5f on linux, with same command (compxlib -s mti_se -l verilog -lib all -arch virtex5 -w -dir /home/riboure/work/xilinx_projects/compiled_lib/) , following lines are added in modelsim.ini and compilation time increase :

... and many more !

How can I make modelsim in linux compile only secureip, unisims_ver, unimacro_ver, simprims_ver and xilinxcorelib_ver ?

regards,

[debrajr]

Try using:

compxlib -s mti_se -l verilog -lib secureip -lib unisims_ver -lib unimacro_ver -lib simprims_ver -lib xilinxcorelib_ver -arch virtex5 -w -dir E:/WORKING/Xilinx_projects/ddr3_ctrl_test/compiled_lib/

hi thanks for your answer but compxlib doesn't accept to compile separately these library.  valid library name for compxlib are the followings :

#
# -lib <library> : Specify the name of the library to be compiled. The valid
# library names are :-
#
# unisim (alias u)
# simprim (alias s)
# uni9000 (alias n)
# xilinxcorelib (alias c)
# coolrunner (alias r)
# edk (alias e)
#

Hello,

is there a solution to limit the compilation to the needed library and then save time.

Hello "iostrym",

One of the behaviors with modelsim.ini as set by the $MODELSIM environement variable is that it seems to merge with existing modelsim.ini file content, overwriting only what is modified. So, if you already have a modelsim.ini file with edk libraries for instance, those will not be removed if you later re-compile with only a subset of the libraries.

So, to start I usually set the $MODELSIM location to where I will compile the libriaries, and then remove any existing modelsim.ini files from that location. If no file is found, compxlib will create a new one.

Then, given your example of library subsets, I would run this ...

compxlib -s mti_se -arch virtex5 -lib unisim -lib simprim -lib xilinxcorelib -dir ./libraries

I compiled the libraries to a local "libraries" directory, but you may remove this command if you wish.

Your original command had the "-lib all" switch in it which of course compiled all you libraries.

OK, hope this helps ....

Hi thanks for your answer.

I don't have a $modelsim variable, I created a modelsim.ini in modelsim working directory. So i think it must use this modelsim.ini instead of those present in modelsim installation directory.

you want to compile the following libraries -lib unisim -lib simprim -lib xilinxcorelib but I was said that (at least) secure_ip library is needed for my PCIe and DDR3 xilinx IP simulations. And in my upper post I precise that compxlib don't want do compile separately secure_ip library. So without using "-lib all" option I don't know how to compile secure_ip.

Also, I don't know what are the library taken in account by the "-lib all" option, and why in some case with such option there are 5 libraries that are compiled and why in other case there are more than 20 libraries that are compiled :/

Also, I don't know difference between unisim and unisim_ver and also between simprim and simprim_ver...

Best regards,
