Problem Title:
Foundation1.5,Coregen,Logiblox,Checkpoint Simulation: How simulate an HDL or mixed design
with Coregen or Logiblox?
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Description:
When using Foundation for functional simulation, instantiated Coregen
or Logiblox modules are not seen by the simulator. An error is produced:
...unknown component...
This will happen anytime a Coregen or Logiblox module is include in an
HDL design (macro or top-level)
Solution 1:
For the functional simulation to work properly, the Coregen and Logiblox
modules must be merged into the design netlist (flattened).
To flatten the netlist run translate in the flow engine. To stop after Translate,
you can either hit the stop button, or once the flow engine begins (translate
stage), goto 'Setup' and select 'Stop after...' to define the stop point. This
step will merge all the components of the design into a single .ngd file.
Finally, you are ready to simulate. You do this by selecting Checkpoint
simulation from within the Foundation Project Manager.
