Honored ContributorHi All,
In Quartus Prime, how can I define the compilation library each VHDL file? For example, I'd like the file top.vhd file will be compiled into 'work' library and all the *_pkg.vhd files will be compiled into 'pkgs' lib, etc. How can I do so? Thank you!
Honored Contributorwhy would you put all the packages in their own library? packages should be in appropriate libraries.
To set the library in the gui, in the file list in assignments-> settings, click properties and change the file's library there. Otherwise, in the .qsf: set_global_assignment -name VHDL_FILE <myfile> -library <mylib>Honored Contributorlibrary pkgs;
context pkgs.all_func;
...
contect all_func is
library pkgs;
use f1_pkg.all;
use f2_pkg.all;
...
end context;
A context can contain multiple libraries and multiple use clauses. No need to have all of the packages in a single library. A context also exists within a library.
eg:
context my_ctx is
library lib1;
use lib1.pkg1.all;
library lib2;
use lib2.lib2pkg.all;
end context my_ctx;
....
library some_othter_lib;
context some_other_lib.my_ctx;
BTW, does Quartus Prime supports the context statement?
I'm receiving the following error:Error (10500): VHDL syntax error at t_all.vhd(6) near text "context"; expecting "entity", or "architecture", or "use", or "library", or "package", or "configuration"
context t_all is
library pkgs;
use pkgs.t_bit.all;
use pkgs.t_lpfsm.all;
use pkgs.t_des.all;
use pkgs.t_fifo.all;
use pkgs.t_ports.all;
use pkgs.t_tbl.all;
end context t_all;
Quartus only has limited 2008 support in prime. Context is not one of them.
Prime Pro has full 2008 support, so if you have the licence, give that a go. Otherwise, you're limited to this: http://quartushelp.altera.com/14.1/mergedprojects/hdl/vhdl/vhdl_list_2008_vhdl_support.htmHonored ContributorNo, I don't have a Pro license...
Can I include packages inside of other packages (just to make a walk around for 'context' problem)? Is there another way to walk around this issue (bisides declaring a long list of packets, which were included in the 'context' declaration)?Honored Contributorno, packages cannot be included with other packages (hence why context was added to vhdl 2008). You just need to write out the long list.
