Issue of using already compiled library in IUS-8.2

Hi All, I am stucked at one situation while using IUS-8.2. I have some compiled libraries of vhdl in one INCA_libs folder.

Now In my System Verilog environment, I want to use those already compiled libraries of VHDL.

So I want to use the INCA_libs folder. what i did is,

While running my environment using irun, i used -cdslib switch to use those libraries.

irun -cdslib < PATH_TO_DESIGN_LIB_CDS_LIB> -f VE.f

Where, PATH_TO_DESIGN_LIB_CDS_LIB is a cds.lib file of the already compiled INCA_libs of design.

VE.f contains my Verification Environment related file.

Is this a correct way to do this? If not then please suggest correct one.

 

There is one strange problem occurs while using this command, When the packages are imported inside the

VE files shows this error,

import imp_1::*; | ncvlog: *E,MULTPK (test.sv,7|11): Multiple (2) packages named "imp_1" were found in the searched libraries: -> found verilog_package worklib.imp_1:sv (VST) -> found verilog_package worklib.imp_1:sv (VST). import imp_1::*;

 

To debug this, When I opened cds.lib of my design's INCA_libs, last 2 statements were something like this,

DEFINE worklib worklib

DEFINE Mux worklib

When I removed the last statement which was for mapping purpose, The above error of importing the package got resolved. But I did not get the successful loading of libraries because simulator gave me an error when I created an instace of Mux entity. Anyone has any idea about this?

     Hi Shunty,

     

    I think your precompiled libraries can best be reused by using the -reflib irun option. Please have a look at the documentation in cdnshelp and the irun help (irun -helpall | grep reflib) for usage information.

     

    Best regards,
