I have VHDL project that implemented by someone late.
with no comments or documentation

the project folder includes

1- VHDL files
2- files with extension .pin ( contains VHDL entity code)
3- files with extension .sar ( Contains VHDL Arch; code)
4- files with extension .e
5- files with extension .save

6- Work library

i created new project in modelsim and added all files and library to the project

NOW the Problem is

1- how to compile these .pin or .sar files by modelsim. or which tool should i use to
compile?
(by the way i can see these files names in WORK libray but don't know how to compile)

2- what is the best way/tools to understand this design, so i can solve the bugs in
it?

also how to link specman to modelsim, who should call the other
should specman call modelsim or modelsim calls specman?

thanks alot
 

Re: VHDL files problems

Hi ,


For Modelsim you can use
vcom -work work ( this is the lib u mapped as working library) <filename>

2) To integrate with specman .

- u need add FLI component in Top level testbench
- u need to creata stub using specman
- then call "specsim vsim" or "sepcview vsim"
- Modelsim sim calls specman

Thanks & Regardes
