Problem Title:
VIEWSIM: How to fix 'Could not open VHDL file...', 'Unrecognized component...'
Problem Description:
When invoking ViewSim on a design, errors similar to the following may
occur:
=================
| Typical delays in use.
| All delays scaled by 1.
| (temp.vsm,28): Could not open VHDL file 'xfshre.vli'.
| (temp.vsm,28): Unrecognized component type XFSHRE, instance name $1I1\$1I37\CLR_CHK.
Module ignored.
| (temp.vsm,31): Could not open VHDL file 'xenable4.vli'.
| (temp.vsm,31): Unrecognized component type XENABLE4, instance name $1I1\$1I37\D_EN.
Module ignored.
| (temp.vsm,34): Could not open VHDL file 'xenable4.vli'.
| (temp.vsm,34): Unrecognized component type XENABLE4, instance name $1I1\$1I37\CE_EN.
Module ignored.
| (temp.vsm,37): Could not open VHDL file 'xcshre.vli'.
| (temp.vsm,37): Unrecognized component type XCSHRE, instance name $1I1\$1I37\D_CHK.
Module ignored.
| (temp.vsm,40): Could not open VHDL file 'xcshre.vli'.
| (temp.vsm,40): Unrecognized component type XCSHRE, instance name $1I1\$1I37\CE_CHK.
Module ignored.
| (temp.vsm,43): Could not open VHDL file 'xcshre.vli'.
| (temp.vsm,43): Unrecognized component type XCSHRE, instance name $1I1\$1I37\GSR_CHK.
Module ignored.
| (temp.vsm,46): Could not open VHDL file 'xenable4.vli'.
| (temp.vsm,46): Unrecognized component type XENABLE4, instance name $1I1\$1I37\CLR_EN.
Module ignored.
| Total of 20 digital modules were processed.
| 7 digital modules could not be instantiated because of errors.viewsim
cannot find any of the vhdl models
Solution 1:
Solution 2:
This is normally due to the local viewdraw.ini/project manager refering to the wrong version
of the builtin library. Be sure the viewdraw.ini file is pointing to the
one located in the %XILINX/Viewlogic UNIFIED subdirectory. Do not use the
builtin library supplied by Viewlogic. Here is the libraries section from a
sample viewdraw.ini file:
DIR [p] . (primary)
DIR [rm] C:\PROSER\UNIFIED\XC4000 (XC4000)
DIR [rm] C:\PROSER\UNIFIED\XBLOX (XBLOX)
DIR [rm] C:\PROSER\UNIFIED\BUILTIN (BUILTIN)
DIR [rm] C:\PROSER\UNIFIED\XBUILTIN (XBUILTIN)
