9 years agoQsys submodule entities unbound to top module
Hi,
I found this problem trying to simulate in Questasim from a Qsys generated system. Specifically the 3-Wire SPI IP does not appear to bound to the top level .vhd file. The design will compile, but is left unbound when trying to simulate. Here is the QuestaSim error:# ** Warning: (vsim-3473) Component instance "ad5734r : AARDVARK_SPI_AD5734R" is not bound.# Time: 0 ps Iteration: 0 Instance: /aardvark_spi_tb/uut File: ./../AARDVARK_SPI.vhd Here are copies of the Qsys top level entities: component AARDVARK_SPI_AD5734R is port (
clk : in std_logic := 'X'; -- clk
reset_n : in std_logic := 'X'; -- reset_n
data_from_cpu : in std_logic_vector(31 downto 0) := (others => 'X'); -- writedata
data_to_cpu : out std_logic_vector(31 downto 0); -- readdata
mem_addr : in std_logic_vector(2 downto 0) := (others => 'X'); -- address
read_n : in std_logic := 'X'; -- read_n
spi_select : in std_logic := 'X'; -- chipselect
write_n : in std_logic := 'X'; -- write_n
irq : out std_logic; -- irq
MISO : in std_logic := 'X'; -- export
MOSI : out std_logic; -- export
SCLK : out std_logic; -- export
SS_n : out std_logic -- export
); But the actual submodules for the 3-Wire SPI are not the same: module AARDVARK_SPI_AD5734R ( // inputs:
MISO,
clk,
data_from_cpu,
mem_addr,
read_n,
reset_n,
spi_select,
write_n,
// outputs:
MOSI,
SCLK,
SS_n,
data_to_cpu,
dataavailable,
endofpacket,
irq,
readyfordata
)
;
output MOSI;
output SCLK;
output SS_n;
output data_to_cpu;
output dataavailable;
output endofpacket;
output irq;
output readyfordata;
input MISO;
input clk;
input data_from_cpu;
input mem_addr;
input read_n;
input reset_n;
input spi_select;
input write_n; Anyone have any experience with this? Know any "minimally invasive" work around so I can still use my test bench in Questasim? Thanks
