XSI Libraries: Synopsys libraries (pre- A2.1i) analyzed for older versions of Synopsys


Record #1166

Product Family: Software

Product Line: Synopsys

Product Part: xsi-libs

Product Version: 1.4

Problem Title:
XSI Libraries: Synopsys libraries (pre- A2.1i) analyzed for older versions of Synopsys


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
If it is not possible to analyze or compile the Synopsys DesignWare and/or VSS Simulation libraries and the instructions were followed from (Xilinx Solution 1189), these libraries may be downloaded from the Xilinx FTP site. It is suggested that an attempt first be made to analyze the libraries on your system before downloading these libraries because a problem with analyzing the libraries may indicate problems with the software installation. These libraries may also be quite large and take some time to download.

Compiled libraries for use with the A2.1i tools can be found at (Xilinx Solution 7000).

Note: These are just the analyzed DesignWare(XDW/XBLOX) and VSS Simulation libraries XSI 5.2.1 only) and by no means replace the installation of the Xilinx-Synopsys interface (XSI). XSI still needs to be installed on the system to obtain the synthesis libraries and other interface software.


Solution 1:

For XACT 5.2.1:
==============

The following contains the DesignWare as well as the VSS Simulation
for supported version of Synopsys with XACT 5.2.1 (3.3b and greater).

To install the libraries:

1. Download the appropriate library.

2. Uncompress and untar the file:

     uncompress <file>.tar.Z
     tar -xf <file>.tar

3. Please see the included README file for details on installing
     the files to the proper places..

Solution 2:

For M1 Users (1.3, 1.4, 1.5/i):
======================

The following files contain only the DesignWare libraries for the various versions of Synopsys supported by M1 (3.4b and greater). The VSS simulation libraries are
dependent on the version of Synopsys you are using as well as the Operating System you are using so they may not be easily provided.

To install the libraries:

Please refer to the README file included in the downloaded archive (.tar.Z) file.
