compile-xilinx-vivado.ps1¶

This script pre-compiles the Xilinx primitives. Because Xilinx offers two tool chains (ISE, Vivado), this script will generate all outputs into a xilinx-vivado directory and a symlink to xilinx will be created. This eases the coexistence of pre-compiled primitives from ISE and Vivado. The symlink can be changed by the user or via -ReLink.

Supported Simulators

Command Line Options

-Help¶

Show the embedded help page(s).

-Clean¶

Clean up directory before analyzing.

-All¶

Pre-compile all libraries and packages for all simulators.

-GHDL¶

Pre-compile the Altera Quartus libraries for GHDL.

-Questa¶

Pre-compile the Altera Quartus libraries for QuestaSim.

-ReLink¶

Change the ‘xilinx’ symlink to ‘xilinx-vivado’.

Additional Options for GHDL

-VHDL93¶

For GHDL only: Set VHDL Standard to ‘93.

-VHDL2008¶

GHDL Notes

Not all primitives and macros are available as plain VHDL source code. Encrypted SecureIP primitives and netlists cannot be pre-compiled by GHDL.

QuestaSim Notes

The pre-compilation for QuestaSim uses a build in program from Xilinx.
