how can I simulate the vhdl and verilog mixed design in modelsim?

Hi, all ,

    I am using ISE6.2 and modelsim5.8b. My design is composed of two
modules, one is VDHL design ,and the other is verilog design. Now I want to
combine them together in a top level file (in vhdl) and simulate the whole
design. Can I just instantiate the verilog design module with a compoenent
in the top file and write a testbench for the top file.
    I have done this , but it fails when binding the verilog module
(rx_backend).
# ** Failure: Default binding had errors for entity 'rx_backend' on the
component declaration of line 220. See the compiler messages.
    Could u give any idea on how to do the mixed vhdl and verilog design and
simulation?
    Many thanks.

following is the sim script from xapp134, which runs mixed v & V simulation.

Nothing is special. You need compile all files before sim them.

vlib work
vmap work work
vcom -93 brst_cntr.vhd
vcom -93 cslt_cntr.vhd
vcom -93 ki_cntr.vhd
vcom -93 mti_pkg.vhd
vcom -93 rcd_cntr.vhd
vcom -93 ref_cntr.vhd
vlog mt48lc1m16a1.v
vcom -93 sdrmc_state.vhd
vcom -93 sys_int.vhd
vcom -93 sdrm_t.vhd
vcom -93 sdrm.vhd
vlog tb_sdrm.v
vsim work.t_sdrm
view signals structure wave source
source verwave.do
run 3000 ns

Hope it will help.

Hi,
  Earlier i had this problem but
i have solved it. What you can do is first install
vhdl version, then copy vhdl folder  from
C:\Modeltech_xe_starter\xilinx\vhdl
to different location. Then uninstall the modelsim and again install
this time for verilog, this time you have
C:\Modeltech_xe_starter\xilinx\verilog
Now copy the vhdl from previous location to this location
C:\Modeltech_xe_starter\xilinx\
If you now open the modelsim you have both libraries(verilog and vhdl)
and you can start mixed language simulation.

Note: This applies only to Free Modelsim XE edition(xilinx).
