Electronic – How to Add the Xilinx Library to Modelsim

edafpgamodelsimverilogxilinx

I'm trying to simulate an example design of an IP Core, but the version of ModelSim I have installed (Altera Edition/Linux) does not link to the Xilinx library. How can I permanently or temporarily add the Xilinx library to ModelSim?

EDIT:

A few more details. I'm trying to simulate an example design for the Ethernet1000Base-X IPCore. The documentation is here: http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/ip_documentation/gig_eth_pcs_pma/v11_3/gig_eth_pcs_pma_ug155.pdf

One page 18, it describes how to simulate the design using either IES, ModelSim, or VCS. I get the following error in ModelSim after running this command: vsim -do simulate_mti.do

# ** Error: (vsim-3033) ../../../Ethernet1000BaseX.v(9359): Instantiation of 'LUT6' failed. The design unit was not found.

  1. compile UNISIM libraries by runnin compxlib and following wizard.
  2. then in your modelsim, library pane add new library.
    enter image description here
  3. after that add library from existing library and point to folder which contains compiled version of unisim, e.g. it is C:\Xilinx\10.1\ISE\vhdl\mti_se\unisim for me enter image description here
    After that you can have fun with UNISIM :)
