XST User Guide Note All messages issued by XST are displayed on the screen only. If you want to save your messages in a separate log file, then the best way is to use script mode to launch XST. In the previous run, XST synthesized entity "stopwatch" as a top level module of the design. The reason is that this block was placed at the end of the VHDL file. XST picks up the latest block in the VHDL file and treats it as a top level one. Suppose you would like to synthesize just "hex2led" and check its performance independently of the other blocks. This can be done by specifying the top level entity to synthesize in the command line using the -ent option (please refer to Table 8-2 of this chapter for more information): run -ifn watchvhd.vhd -ifmt VHDL -ofn watchvhd.ngc -ofmt NGC -p xcv50-bg256-6 -opt_mode Speed -opt_level 1 -ent hex2led Script Mode It can be very tedious work to enter XST commands directly in the XST shell, especially when you have to specify several options and execute the same command several times. You can run XST in a script mode as follows: 1. Open a new file named xst.scr in the current directory. Put the previously executed XST shell command into this file and save it. run -ifn watchvhd.vhd -ifmt VHDL -ofn watchvhd.ngc -ofmt NGC -p xcv50-bg256-6 -opt_mode Speed -opt_level 1 2. From the tcsh or other shell, enter the following command to start synthesis. xst -ifn xst.scr During this run, XST creates the following files: • watchvhd.ngc: an NGC file ready for the implementation tools • xst.srp: the xst script log file 8-16 Xilinx Development System
Command Line Mode You can improve the readability of the xst.scr file, especially if you use many options to run synthesis. You can place each option with its value on a separate line, respecting the following rules: • The first line must contain only the run command without any options. • There must be no empty lines in the middle of the command. • Each line (except the first one) must start with a dash (-) For the previously used command you may have the xst.scr file in the following form: run -ifn watchvhd.vhd -ifmt VHDL -ofn watchvhd.ngc -ofmt NGC -p xcv50-bg256-6 -opt_mode Speed -opt_level 1 Case 2: Each Design in a Separate File For Case 2, each design block is located in a separate VHDL file. 1. Create a new directory, named vhdl_m. 2. Copy the following files from the ISEexamples\watchvhd directory of the ISE installation directory to the newly created vhdl_m directory. ♦ stopwatch.vhd ♦ statmach.vhd ♦ decode.vhd ♦ cnt60.vhd ♦ smallcntr.vhd ♦ hex2led.vhd To synthesize the design, which is now represented by six VHDL files, use the project approach supported in XST. A VHDL project file contains a list of VHDL files from the project. The order of the files is not important. XST is able to recognize the hierarchy, and compile XST User Guide 8-17
