Modelsim Library Mapping - TCL

Right. I need help with this. I have a group of libraries I need to map into modelsim. The guy that made most of the libraries uses HDL Designer and that automatically handles all the mapping,...

The Tcl procedure vmap can be used to map Modelsim libraries, eg.,

vmap lib1 [path to lib1]

vmap lib2 [path to lib2]

vmap lib3 [path to lib3]

and then in the VHDL source there would be something like

library lib1;

use lib1.components.all;

where 'components' is a package compiled into lib1, eg.

vcom -work lib1 components.vhd

You can also map the libraries to work, eg.

vmap lib1 [path to work]

If the library does not exist, then first use vlib to create it, eg.

vlib [path to lib1]

etc.

Cheers,
