Problem Title:
SIMPRIMS: Alliance 2.1 changes from 1.5i (or older) for Verilog SIMPRIMS simulation


Problem Description:
Urgency: HOT

The format and usage of the SIMPRIMS Verilog simulation libraries have changed
from the previous version of the software.

The SIMPRIMS library is used for post-NGD2VER simulation after NGDBUILD,
MAP, or PAR. The library contains generic simulation primitives.

Please see (Xilinx Solution 6534) regarding changes to the UNISIMS
library.


Solution 1:

1> The file extensions have been changed from .vmd to .v

2> Port names were changed from IN* to I* and OUT* to O* to be standard with
the VHDL models since "in" and "out" are reserved words in VHDL.

Therefore, any Logiblox modules generated in 1.5i will not simulate using the 2.1i SIMPRIMS libraries.

3> The library location for the simprims library in 2.1i is
      $XILINX/verilog/src/simprims/*.v
