Problem Title:
F1.5, XABEL: Problem with functional simulation of ABEL designs following CPLD Quick Install.



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
When functional simulation is invoked for any design containing an ABEL module, the netlist will not load properly if the software was installed using the CPLD Quick Install option. The simulation library XABELSIM was not attached automatically, causing "Unknown component" warnings.


Solution 1:

To work around this problem, open any project and click on File>>Project Libraries. Open the Attach Library window by clicking Attach. Select the drive on which the software is installed and click Update. This will locate all libraries on that drive and list them. Now, select XABELSIM from the listed libraries, click OK and close the windows. The XABELSIM library is now available, and should be automatically used when you run functional simulation on your ABEL design.
