I am developing a EDK 8.2 component with a PLB master based DMA interface. It sure would be nice to use the coreconnect bus functional models such as PLB slave and PLB bus monitor to develop this core, but all I have for simulation is MXE. Does anyone know if this is possible? I downloaded and installed bfm_8_2.exe and can see source for all the BFM components; but the EDK "compile simulation library" command complains that I have MXE instead of PE/EE. I don't care about simulating other stuff in EDK, and normally I would simulate stand-alone but I get the feeling the BFM components are only meant for EDK. Had anyone here done anything like this?
Searching the xilinx database has not returned a straight answer.
Closest I can come is answer 19326 which refers to this:
(Xilinx Answer 16359) - 3.1/3.2 EDK - Does EDK support the ModelSim XE simulator?
but answer 16359 does not seem to exist.
thanks,
