Keywords: vhdldbx, vhdlsim, 259

Urgency: Standard

General Description:

Invoking the VHDLDBX Simulator produces a simular error message:
Error vhdlsim, 259 sdf file line ##: instance xsim4 not found.
Error vhdlsim, 259 sdf file line ##: instance bufgs_bl not found.

This is caused by having the command syntax options in the wrong order.

The vhdldbx (or vhdlsim) command line syntax must follow the following order:

vhdldbx -sdf_top -sdf -design_name etc...
