How to Set Up SimplifIDE
This " How To " explains how to integrate Modelsim into SimplifIDE
It is recommended to use the same directory structure, for more information about it see here
Compilation Only
In order to use Modelsim for compilation, an external tools need to be configured, this system may also be used for others VHDL eclipse plugins.
- Open the external tool configuration Dialog Run/External Tools/External Tools Configurations.../ .
- As shown in the picture above your installed vsim can be used as Command Line tool inside eclipse to perform the Compilation. As arguments we pass a DO-Script file.
Location: C:/pathToUsedModelsim/win32/vsim.exe Working Directory: empty Arguments: -c -do ${project_loc}\03_script\run_comp.do
- There are 2 Scripts used. comp.do contains the file and libs to compile, the run_comp.do start the compilation process. Note: the comp.do is also used for Compilation and Simulation. Examples can be downloaded in the last section
Compilation and Simulation
In order to use Modelsim for Compilation and Simulation, an external tools need to be configured, this system may also be used for others VHDL eclipse plugins.
- Open the external tool configuration Dialog Run/External Tools/External Tools Configurations.../ .
- As shown in the picture above your installed modelsim can be started as External Programm to perform the Compilation and Simulation. As arguments we pass a DO-Script file.
Location: C:/pathToUsedModelsim/win32/modelsim.exe Working Directory: empty Arguments: -c -do ${project_loc}\03_script\run_sim.do
- There are 2 Scripts used. comp.do contains the file and libs to compile, the run_comp.do start the compilation process. Note: the comp.do is also used for Compilation and Simulation. Examples can be downloaded in the last section
Example files
Some example Do scripts can be downloaded. They probably have to be adapted to your needs
- Compilation script : File:Comp.do
- Run Compilation script : File:Run comp.do
- Run Simulation script : File:Run sim.do
- Modelsim wave script : File:Wave.do
