Calling Components

Hi

This maybe a bit of a silly question, but I'm new to VHDL and have gotten stuck

I am using Quartus II 9.1 web edition

Is it possible to recall a .bdf design file as a component in a .vhd vhdl design, or is it only .vdh compatable?

Thanks

Will

    You can call AHDL files from VHDL, so I dont see why you cant call BDF files.

    Just create a component with the same port map as the BDF and instantiate it. Then compile it with quartus.

    You wont be able to simulate the VHD file in modelsim though as an RTL simulation.
