Hello all, I am trying to use some of the proposed functions by IEEE which are still awaiting approval. http://www.vhdl.org/vhdl-200x/vhdl-200x-ft/packages/float_pkg_c.vhdl I am getting the following errors **Error: C:/Modeltech_pe_edu_6.3c/examples/util_top.vhd(58): Library ieee_proposed not found. ** Error: C:/Modeltech_pe_edu_6.3c/examples/util_top.vhd(59): (vcom-1136) Unknown identifier "ieee_proposed". ** Error: C:/Modeltech_pe_edu_6.3c/examples/util_top.vhd(60): (vcom-1136) Unknown identifier "ieee_proposed". ** Error: C:/Modeltech_pe_edu_6.3c/examples/util_top.vhd(67): VHDL Compiler exiting I have copied the zip file vhdl-200x-pkgs_18 available at http://www.vhdl.org/vhdl-200x/vhdl-200x-ft/packages/files.html. I now have a folder vhdl-200x-pkgs_18 which is the unzipped version. How do I include this as a library? I have renamed the folder to ieee_proposed and it still gives me the same errors. I am using ModelsimPE Student Edition 6.3c Thanks

I would suggest not using the propossed functions unless you are required to. Unless those functions have been donated by a synthesis company they are highley unlikely to be supported when you need to synthesize to gates.

Have a look in your <your_mti_installation_dir>\vhdl_src\floatfixlib\ directory. In my PE version they are compiled into floatfixlib: Library floatfixlib; use floatfixlib.float_pkg.all; signal A32,B32:float(8 downto -23); signal Y32 : float(8 downto -23); A32 <= "01000000110100000000000000000000" ; -- 6.5 B32 <= to_float(3.23, B32); -- size using B32 Y32 <= A32 + B32 ; These are great libraries and very easy to use. The only problem is that the waveform doesn't have an option to display them properly. Hans www.ht-lab.com> > Thanks

Change the mapping to have forward slashes in the pathname, and all should be well. Also, to play safe, take a look in the currently-applicable "modelsim.ini" file and see if there are backslashes in the library-mapping pathnames there - if so, replace them with forward-slash. -- Jonathan Bromley, Consultant DOULOS - Developing Design Know-how VHDL * Verilog * SystemC * e * Perl * Tcl/Tk * Project Services Doulos Ltd., 22 Market Place, Ringwood, BH24 1AW, UK jonathan.bromley@MYCOMPANY.com http://www.MYCOMPANY.com The contents of this message may contain personal views which are not the views of Doulos Ltd., unless specifically stated.

Is there an alternate way of doing this? Can you please tell me the steps i need to follow to add the ieee_proposed library to Modelsim. Thanks

I would do something like this... vlib c:/existing/directory/ieee_proposed_lib vmap ieee_proposed c:/existing/directory/ieee_proposed_lib vcom -work ieee_proposed c:/source/directory/float_pkg_c.vhd Note also that any pathname containing spaces MUST be enclosed in quotes "" or braces {} so that Tcl does not interpret the spaces as word separators. As usual, once you've done the "vlib" and "vmap" commands you don't need to do them again; the library mapping will be written into the local modelsim.ini file and will then be used automatically whenever you run ModelSim in that directory. Ghastly thought: You're not actually running Modelsim in its installation directory, are you? That's disastrous because it has a read-only modelsim.ini file. Make sure you've changed Modelsim's working directory to some place where you have full read/write access.

I was running Modelsim in the installation directory. Thank you very much for pointing that.
