Problem Title:
Foundation F1.5 Simulation, Coregen: Must create Foundation Schematic Symbol in Coregen to Functionally Simulate



Problem Description:
Date: 9/98

Urgency: standard

General Description:
In a design which contains Coregen components, you must create a Foundation
Schematic Symbol in the Coregen GUI in order to be able to run Functional
Simulation from within Foundation. This includes the case where the design
is a VHDL or Verilog design.


Solution 1:

The Foundation simulation model is created when you choose the Foundation
Schematic Symbol option in Coregen. Even though this file is not required to
be able to implement the design, it is required if you wish to perform
Functional Simulation in Foundation BEFORE the design is implemented with the
Implementation Tools.

In the Core Generator Options dialog, be sure that "Foundation Schematic
Symbol" output format is selected.
