Dear Administrator:
I don't have the lisence to generate the testbench by CoValidator. So I ' m have to do it by hand .
In the example Fir51 , when I finished synthsis in QuartusII9.1 (OK), I tried to simulate the file created by ImpulseC.
Some errors occurred when compile in Modelsim. As it showed below.
"
# -- Compiling package external_components
# ** Error: (vcom-25) Invalid ModelSim library "C:\Modeltech_6.2b\win32/../impulse". No _info file found.
# No such file or directory. (errno = ENOENT)

# ** Error: E:/altera/91/quartus/sqrt_c2h/Fir51_comp.vhd(25): (vcom-1136) Unknown identifier "impulse".

It seems the that the impulse lib is missing while simulate in modelsim. But I had already added all the essential parts into the project ,such as "cregister.vhd stream.vhd ... " .
I'm using CoDeveloper 3.50.b.3.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


When I decide to simulate the file without QuartusII , I set up a project including all the file. I have not built a impulse library . I change the sentences "library impulse ; using impulse.all " to "library work ; using work.all " . But it doesn't work either. The errors I met is listed below.

Is there a smart way to simulate ? Any suggestion is welcome.
Thank you very very much for your patience.

Hi,
To do thing s manually, you will have to create the library 'impulse' in ModelSim and then add all the files to the library: Usually the HDL generation (not export) directory is used for simulation and in it the files in the 'hw' top directory go to library 'work' and everything under 'hw/lib' goes into the 'impulse' library. You can tell when you have done this correctly by verifying that the files and modules show up correctly when expanding 'work' and 'impulse' in the "libraries" pane in ModelSim.

Best Regards,
