These libraries can not +be shipped with *GHDL*, but we offer prepared compile scripts to pre-compile +the vendor libraries, if the vendor tool is present on the computer. There are +also popular simulation and verification libraries like OSVVM [#f1]_, VUnit +[#f2]_ or UVVM [#f3]_, which can be pre-compiled, too. + +The compilation scripts are writen in the shell languages: *PowerShell* for +*Windows* |trade| and *Bash* for *GNU/Linux*. The compile scripts can colorize +the GHDL warning and error lines with the help of `grc/grcat` [#f4]_. + +Supported Vendors Libraries +=========================== + +* Altera/Intel Quartus (13.0 or later): + + * `lpm`, `sgate` + * `altera`, `altera_mf`, `altera_lnsim` + * `arriaii`, `arriaii_pcie_hip`, `arriaiigz` + * `arriav`, `arriavgz`, `arriavgz_pcie_hip` + * `cycloneiv`, `cycloneiv_pcie_hip`, `cycloneive` + * `cyclonev` + * `max`, `maxii`, `maxv` + * `stratixiv`, `stratixiv_pcie_hip` + * `stratixv`, `stratixv_pcie_hip` + * `fiftyfivenm`, `twentynm` + +* Lattice (3.6 or later): + + * `ec` + * `ecp`, `ecp2`, `ecp3`, `ecp5u` + * `lptm`, `lptm2` + * `machxo`, `machxo2`, `machxo3l` + * `sc`, `scm` + * `xp`, `xp2` + +* Xilinx ISE (14.0 or later): + + * `unisim` (incl. `secureip`) + * `unimacro` + * `simprim` (incl. `secureip`) + * `xilinxcorelib` + +* Xilinx Vivado (2014.1 or later): + + * `unisim` (incl. `secureip`) + * `unimacro` + +Supported Simulation and Verification Libraries +=============================================== + +* OSVVM (for VHDL-2008) + + * osvvm + +* VUnit (for VHDL-2008) + + * vunit_lib + +* UVVM (for VHDL-2008) + + * + +--------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Script Configuration +==================== + +The vendor library compile scripts need to know where the used / latest vendor +tool chain is installed. Therefore, the script implement a default installation +directory search as well as environment variable checks. If a vendor tool could +not be detected or the script choses the wrong vendor library source directory, +then it's possible to provide the path via `--source` or `-Source`. + +The generated output is stored relative to the current working directory. The +scripts create a sub-directory for each vendor. The default output directory can +be overwritten by the parameter `--output` or `-Output`. + +To compile all source files with GHDL, the simulator executable is searched in +`PATH`. The found default GHDL executable can be overwritten by setting the +environment variable `GHDL` or by passing the parameter `--ghdl` or `-GHDL` to +the scripts. + +If the vendor library compilation is used very often, we recommend to configure +these parameters in `config.sh` or `config.psm1`, so the command line can be +shortened to the essential parts. + +--------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Compiling on Linux +================== + +* **Step 0 - Configure the scripts (optional)** + See next section for how to configure `config.sh`. + +* **Step 1 - Browse to your simulation working directory** + + .. code-block:: Bash + + $ cd <MySimulationFolder> + ``` + +* **Step 2 - Start the compilation script(s)** + + .. code-block:: Bash + + $ /usr/local/lib/ghdl/vendors/compile-altera.sh --all + $ /usr/local/lib/ghdl/vendors/compile-lattice.sh --all + $ /usr/local/lib/ghdl/vendors/compile-xilinx-ise.sh --all + $ /usr/local/lib/ghdl/vendors/compile-xilinx-vivado.sh --all + $ /usr/local/lib/ghdl/vendors/compile-osvvm.sh --all + $ /usr/local/lib/ghdl/vendors/compile-vunit.sh --all + ``` + + In most cases GHDL is installed into `/usr/local/`.
