16. 5d Regenerating Methods Explicit Refresh You can easily regenerate your design libraries with refresh You must use the vcom compiler with the refresh option to update the VHDL design units in a library and vlog with the refresh option to update Verilog design units By default the work library is updated use work library to update a different library For example if you have a library named mylib that contains both VHDL and Verilog design units you would use both of these commands vcom work mylib refresh vlog work mylib refresh Rebuild Libraries Without Source Code An important feature of refresh is that it rebuilds the library image without using source code This means that models delivered as compiled libraries without source code can be rebuilt for a specific release of ModelSim In general this works for moving forwards or backwards on a release Moving backwards on a release may not work if the models used compiler switches or directives Verilog only that do not exist in the older release or if a bug was fixed that makes it impossible to do a backwards refresh Note You don t need to regenerate the std ieee modelsim_lib vital and verilog libraries as these are provided with each release of ModelSim However if you have your own copies of these libraries you will need to refresh them AutoRefreshing ModelSim 6 6 library files can be used by any 6 6 simulator type with the help of
17. AutoRefresh AutoRefresh works during simulation loading to build the library files needed by the current simulator type AutoRefresh builds only the files needed by the loading simulation and then only refreshes files for design units that have changed leaving the rest of the library files untouched The Binary Details AutoRefresh regenerates the binaries for PE DE psm SE asm and SE 64 bit asm64 that are stored in the ModelSim libraries 20 ModelSim Installation and Licensing Guide v6 6b Installation and Licensing Technical Support For example if a module is changed and recompiled on PE DE the next time an SE simulator tries to use that library ModelSim automatically regenerates the necessary asm files One library can contain the code for both formats For example for each design unit in a work library there can be an SE and PE DE version co existing In fact if you run a PE DE compiled design on SE it will auto refresh itself when you invoke vsim The library format that SE needs is generated on the fly from the PE DE format After that point both formats exist in the library and no more format conversion will occur Why two different formats The SE compiler has several performance optimizations that aren t in the PE DE compiler Consequently the generated code for SE has to be different Library Compatibility Between Versions Libraries are compatible between different letter versions of the tool as long
