Updating DesignWare Libraries
Although Altera provides DesignWare libraries
that are pre-compiled for the current version of Synopsys tools, you may wish to recompile the libraries.
Altera provides compilable source files and scripts that
allow you to automate the compilation process. These source files
allow you to use DesignWare software with any version of the Design Compiler or FPGA Compiler software.They also allow you to install components whose source is
written in VHDL, even if you are licensed only for the Verilog
HDL Compiler software.
Source files for the Design Compiler software are
automatically installed in the following directories:
- /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_syn/flex10k/src/dw_flex10k[<speed
grade>]
- /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_syn/flex8000/src/dw_flex8000[<speed
grade>]
- /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_syn/flex6000/src/dw_flex6000<speed
grade>
Source files for the FPGA Compiler are
automatically installed in the following directories:
- /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_syn/flex10k/src/dw_flex10k[<speed
grade>]_fpga
- /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_syn/flex8000/src/dw_flex8000[<speed
grade>]_fpga
- /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_syn/flex6000/src/dw_flex6000<speed
grade>_fpga
You can compile the VHDL source file
for use with the appropriate library. Refer to Table 1 to
determine which commands you should type at the UNIX prompt to
compile the library.
| Table 1. Commands for Compiling the Library |
| Device Family | Synopsys Compiler | Commands for Compiling the Library Note (1) |
| FLEX®6000 | Design Compiler | cd /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_syn/flex6000/ src/dw_flex6000<speed grade>  dw_flex6000.script  |
| FPGA Compiler | cd /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_syn/flex6000/ src/dw_flex6000<speed grade>_fpga  dw_flex6000.script  |
| FLEX 8000 | Design Compiler | cd /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_syn/flex8000/ src/dw_flex8000[<speed grade>]  dw_flex8000.script  |
| FPGA Compiler | cd /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_syn/flex8000/ src/dw_flex8000[<speed grade>]_fpga  dw_flex8000.script  |
| FLEX 10K | Design Compiler | cd /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_syn/flex10k/ src/dw_flex10k[<speed grade>]  dw_flex10k.script  |
| FPGA Compiler | cd /usr/maxplus2/synopsys/library/alt_syn/flex10k/ src/dw_flex10k[<speed grade>]_fpga  dw_flex10k.script  |
Notes:
- For FLEX 6000 devices, you must specify either
-2 or -3 for the <speed grade> variable. For FLEX 8000 and FLEX 10K devices, you must specify -2, -3, -4, -5, or -6; or -1, -2, -3, -4, or -5; respectively, for the <speed grade> variable.
