Xilinx Swift interface Licence (?) problem

I all.



I finally succeded (or at list I think I did!) in setting up the swift libraries to simulate my design with a PPC in it (Xilinx EDK6.2), but when I run the simulation with ModelSim XE I got this "strange" message:



# ** Error: Failure to license for PE Swift Interface. # ** Error: Unable to check out PE Swift license.



WHY PE edition if I have a XE edition, I did everything required (see

formatting link
) and I compiled the Xilinx libraries in ModelSim with the following command line???



compxlib -s mti_se -f virtex2p:m -l vhdl -w



Does anyone out of there out to solve this issue?



Thanks in advance,



Andrea

The Swift interface is an option you have to pay extra for with ModelSim PE, and I assume XE.

A SWIFT license is one of the things that differentiate PE from XE. You have to upgrade to XE if you want to use SWIFT models.

You're thinking of SE, which includes the SWIFT license. I think XE is just a Xilinx-specific version of PE, not a PE upgrade. My guess is that XE users have to pony up for the SWIFT license separately.
