Problem Title:

2.1i/1.5 VIEWLOGIC: Viewsim direct gate level schematic simulation of Virtex designs is partially supported



Problem Description:
Urgency: standard

General Description:
Viewlogic Viewsim direct gate level schematic simulation of Virtex designs
is only partially supported. Some components are not simulatable in the Virtex
Viewlogic library.

Please refer to (Xilinx Answer #5968) for a list of these components.


Solution 1:

Customers trying to simulate a Viewlogic schematic design containing
unsimulatable library components can still simulate their Virtex designs using
VHDL or Verilog instead.

The following steps may apply to any HDL simulation tool.

Verilog Flow:

  - edifneto -l xilinx <design_name>
  - ngdbuild -p v000 <design_name>
  - ngd2ver <design_name>.ngd


VHDL Flow:

  - edifneto -l xilinx <design_name>
  - ngdbuild -p v000 <design_name>
  - ngd2vhdl <design_name>.ngd
