FFT modelsim stand alone simulation

I new to Quartus II and ModelSim. I am trying to simulate the FFT MegaCore and I am getting a VHDL compile error. I have reviewed the documentation but I don't see what I am doing wrong. The docum...

Hi

You have to compile that generated .vhd into your library and set pathes that the library is known by modelsim.

I'm more used to the GUI way, so I describe this one (command line version should be similar, but you have to add pathes yourself...)

Start Modelsim

Library -> New library

[x] a new library and a logical mapping to it

Library name [fft_lib]

Library Physical name [fft_lib]

> OK

Compile > Compile...

Library [fft_lib]

Filename [./fft_pack_fft_90.vhd]

> Compile

Now you should see the fft_lib beside the other libraries and see the building blocks compiled into it. Open and build your simulation now.

Hope this helps,

Peter
