VHDL 2005, VHDL93 and FPHDL

[vijay]

Hi all,
I need to use floating point datatypes in my project. fphdl(by David
Bishop) seems very promising to me.
I am using ModelSim5.7-XE(XILINX EDITION).

1) Is VHDL200x is a new library? if yes, is it available with Vendors?

2) I have downloaded the zip files available at
http://www.eda.org/vhdl-200x/vhdl-200x-ft/packages/files.html

DO i need to compile all files in this ZIP folder ?

Thanks in advance

Some vendors. Download trial software and see.

You only *need* to compile the files containing
the function you are interested it.

Vendors precompile everything for supported libraries.

Vijay,
See the user guides that you downloaded with the files.
If you did not get user guides, download the latest version.

I did a paper recently at a conference on these types and it
includes some hints for library creation and compiling the
files. You can find the paper at:

Cheers,
Jim
