New ContributorModelsim - greybox netlist file
In the above, I did not regenerate the library (launching the simulation library compiler). After doing so, the correct path names were present and the simulator was properly launched. Now that I have Modelsim running, I need to figure out why the generated IP's simulation files are not working. Example is a simple PLL, where the clock out is not toggling.
Super ContributorHi,
Since you have generated the setup script for the whole design, including vlog -vlog01compat -work work ../PLL_RAM.v and vlog -vlog01compat -work work ../testbench_1.v in .do file will do. Modelsim or Questa simulator will look for the IP top wrapper module .v file in sim directory of IP folder respectively by itself. Btw, I'm able to see associated "greybox" .v file after enabling "Create timing and resource estimates for each IP..." option.
Best Regards,
Sheng

New ContributorSheng,
I would like to confirm what you stated.
The .do script file, as outlined in the Quick Start Guide, does not need to include any IP file. Modelsim will automatically retrieve these from the directory structure. Correct?
You indicated that the associated "greybox".v files are created, after enabling the "Create timing and resource estimates for each IP..." option. What directory is it located? The previous "greybox" files had the text "greybox" within the file. There is no file in the IP directory that has this text.
Is there an updated User Guide showing the changes in the creation of the .do script for Modelsim, similar to the one linked to above?
