OSVVM in Xilinx Vivado giving erros

[bansal]

I am getting the following errors when trying to compile the OSVVM library with the Xilinx Vivado simulator, can you please help or please point to a free simulator which I can use to write or try out osvvm based tests. My company is a research based company and relies mostly on opensource tools, for professional ones we have to make a strong case based on projects to be able to use those–

Hi

OSVVM requires a simulator to support a VHDL-2002 feature called protected types.   It also requires some VHDL-2008 support.    Did you turn on the VHDL-2008 switch?  If you did, make sure to file a bug report with Xilinx.

For a free simulator that does support OSVVM, you can use the Aldec tools that come with lattice, ModelSim that comes with Altera or MicroSemi, or GHDL.

Best Regards,

Jim

*Thanks. In Xilinx I had selected all the files as VHDL2008 files. It doesn’t seem to support the full VHDL2008 features– for eg, I got an error tee not declared in

      tee(TranscriptFile, buf) ;

however I see use std.textio.all library being included.  I am not sure if I should enable some other switch or not.  I will post on Xilinx forum as well.

HI Bansal,
Did you try Xilinx 2017.02.   I was just reading the documentation on the simulator and it seems to support a number of the critical features that are needed to support OSVVM.   Have not tried it yet myself, but I am encouraged by this.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi all,

Vivado 2018.2 (and previous versions) fails to compile OSVVM because it doesn’t support some basic VHDL-2008 functions like “to_string()” which is used by AlertLogPkg.
