描述

In Vivado 2015.3, the auto-generated compile script for ModelSim/Questa has double quotes added for +incdir+ arguments. 

This does not occur in Vivado 2015.2.

For example:

2015.3

2015.2

If I launch ModelSim/Questa simulation from the 2015.3 Vivado GUI in Windows, I get this error.

# ** Error: ./../../../ddr4_test.srcs/sources_1/ip/ddr4sdram/ip_0/rtl/phy/ddr4sdram_phy_ddr4.sv(731): Cannot find `include file "ddr4sdram_phy_iobMapDDR4.vh" in directories: # "./../../../ddr4_test.srcs/sources_1/ip/ddr4sdram/ip_0/rtl/map", "./../../.

However, the same 2015.3 flow in Linux works fine, and the same 2015.2 flow works in both platforms.

Why does the double quotes with +incdir+ fail to work for ModelSim/Questa in Windows?

解决方案

In Vivado 2015.2, the include directory was not wrapped in double quotes and it would fail when the directory contained a space.

This is why the quotes were added in the 2015.3 release.

Double quotes with +incdir+ work correctly for ModelSim/Questa, but it depends on how it has been invoked:

• In Linux, we directly call the .do file:
  ExecStep source ./sim_tb_top_compile.do 2>&1 | tee -a compile.log
  Here double quotes with +incdir+ are being invoked on the terminal and work fine.


• In Window, the do file is passed to a vsim command:
  call %bin_path%/vsim -c -do "do {sim_tb_top_compile.do}" -l compile.log
  Here commands are getting invoked within the vsim prompt and in this case double quotes with +incdir+ do not work.
  

To fix the issue when the commands are invoked within the vsim prompt, please follow the steps below:

Alternatively, you can manually edit the script to also wrap +incdir+ in double quotes.

Change the script from the following:
