simulation troubles

Started by zoin...@mytrashmail.com July 19, 2005
hey all,

I still can't get the system-wide behavioral simulation of a
VirtexII-pro system to work, the entire system is "dead", it is not
executing any instructions, or so it seems

(what is the init-time for a standard PowerPC generated architecture
with no peripherals besides GPIO and UART?) I simulated 10ms but no
indication that anything was executed.

But now for my real question: When I try to simulate an XPS generated
design into modelsim using the "Start HDL Simulator" from the tool
menu, everything goes ok (I generated all the libs and VHDL simulation
files). But when Modelsim opens, I get the following error:

# Project file C:/<VERY OLD PATH>ModelSimTest.mpf was not found.
# Unable to open project.

The pathname given in this error is a path from a previous simulation
test which I gave up on a long time ago. I can't find any indication of
this path in any XPS settings. My question is: Where does it come from,
and how can I get my XPS to use the path of the system actually being
simulated?

Another big thanks from me,

Jim Tuilman
