Toplevel Verilog with VHDL entities

[niklar]

Hello,

I have several VHDL entities that I would like to instantiate in a toplevel Verilog file. How can this be done?

Thanks

it depends on a simulator you use. if you use modelsim, check mixed simulation chapters of user guide

In addition, it depends on synthesizers

Well, we are trying to run Design Analyzer of Synopsis. There is a relativly good tutorial on Verilog design.

However, the code we have is written in VHDL. Thus, we either have to "force" Design Analyzer deal with it or make a toplevel verilog code and somehow instatiate VHDL entities in it. :roll:

The problem with VHDL is that we can not find were we have to specify the technology (cmosp18). It keeps the default one - GTECH (general technology?)

The men*or's FPGAV can do this work. And spec*rum or X-Vhdl can transfer the two word.

Hi niklar,

I'm not sure if you face this promble or not.Try to edit the ".synopsys_dc.setup" in the directory where you run the Design Analyzer!!


set target_library "slow.db " #this is your target library file
set link_library "* slow.db " #this is your library file,typically it is as same as target library file
set symbol_library "core.sdb " #this is you symbol library

set search_path "$search_path /export/home/Synopsys/libfile ." #the path for the 1st and 2nd file shown abouve

set search_path "$search_path /export/home/Synopsys/symbol" #the path for the 3rd file shown above
-----------------------------------------------------

Hope this will help you

Best Regards
