SYNOPSYS: Logical Library does not map to a host directory.


Record #2417

Product Family:  Software

Product Line:  Synopsys

Problem Title:
SYNOPSYS: Logical Library does not map to a host directory.


Problem Description:
Keywords: synopsys, logical, library, host

Urgency: Standard

General Description:

FPGA Compiler issues the following error message:

"Logical Library xc4000e does not map to a host directory" when the
following library statement is used in a VHDL file:

Library xc4000e;
Use xc4000e.components.all


Solution 1:

These Library/Use statements are only needed for VHDL simulation, and
are not needed for synthesis.  If simulation will not be performed
they can be removed from the source code.  If simulation is to be
used, then a .synopsys_vss.setup file is required to map the library.

An example .synopsys_vss.setup file is provided in
$XACT/examples/synopsys/xilinx.synopsys_vss.setup file.  Copy this
file to the project directory and omit the prefix (xilinx) of the file
name.  In the .synopsys_vss.setup file there needs to reside the
following line:

XC4000E : $DS401/synopsys/libraries/sim/lib/xc4000e
