Xilinx Development System

Xilinx System Generator v2.1 Reference Guide

Xilinx supplies two sets of instructions for compiling your IP libraries using TCL/TK
scripts. The instructions can be found at the following locations:

http://support.xilinx.com/techdocs/2561.htm

MXE libraries

If you plan to use ModelSim XE (Xilinx Edition), download the MXE pre-compiled
libraries from the Xilinx web site. You may find the latest libraries at:

http://support.xilinx.com/support/software/install_info.htm

Unzip these MXE libraries into your MXE installed directory (usually

$MXE/

xilinx/vhdl/xilinxcorelib

). This is the location where MXE expects to find

your Xilinx compiled libraries, so you do not need to make any changes to your

modelsim.ini

file. This file should point to the correct installed location.

Associating ModelSim with ISE 4.1i Project Navigator

If you associate ModelSim with the Xilinx 4.1i ISE Project Navigator, then you may
run your simulations from within Project Navigator as part of the full software
implementation flow.

From Project Navigator, choose the main menu pick

Edit >> Preferences

. This

will bring up a

Preferences

dialog box. Choose the

Partner Tools

tab in this

dialog box. Enter the full path to the version of ModelSim on your PC. You must
include the name of the executable file in this field.
