Hello all, I am using Modelsim 6.3 and ISE 10.1 and have a gtp_dual in my design. When I try to simulate it, Modelsim reports the following error: (vcom-1141) Identifier "gtp_dual" does not identify a component declaration. I have all the libraries with smartmodels installed in Modelsim, in fact I can see the component gtp_dual in Unisim and Simprim libraries in Modelsim workspace. However, it seems that it does not recognize this option. Does someone know what could be the problem? Many thanks. Ruzica

You probably forgot a use clause, for the package containing the gtp_dual component declaration. And the synthesis tool (ISE?) probably cheats, and assumes it knows all about the Xilinx primitives already. I can't find the gtp_dual component anywhere in my Xilinx simulation library sources; what am I missing? -- 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.

I just saw that the component GTP_DUAL is not inside the package unisim.vcomponents. Instead it is instantiated as an entity in another file.

You should follow the guidelines in http://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/24800.htm in order to install it in Modelsim.

Where you currently have some_instance_name: GTP_DUAL generic map (whatever) port map (whatever); you could instead write some_instance_name: entity THE_LIB.GTP_DUAL generic map (whatever) port map (whatever); where THE_LIB is the name of the library into which GTP_DUAL has already been compiled. Using direct instantiation in this way, there is no need for a component declaration.>> I can't find the gtp_dual component anywhere in my Xilinx >> simulation library sources; what am I missing? >> -- >It should be defined in the folder where ISE has been installed in the >path Xilinx\10.1\ISE\vhdl\src\unisims.

I think I was just being stupid, and looking at my WebPack installation which perhaps lacks those components. -- 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.

This works! It's not so handy as when I use gtp for implementation in ISE, as I can define only the signals that I am using, and the tool deals with the rest of them. Now I have to say what happens to each of the component ports, but I wouldn't call that a problem :-) Cheers, Ruzica
