Viewing the logic

[Jim]

Hi,

Is it possible for me to view my VHDL code as a schematic, which shows the
individual components of the system. For example, the synthesis report
informs me that it found various components (flip flops, comparators etc
etc). I would like to see these parts (and how they are connected) in a
diagram. Does anyone know how to do it? I use the Xilinx ISE 4.2i
software.

TIA

Don't know ISE. Standard Quartus has an "HDL viewer" that would
do what you want. Don't know if the free version has it.
Leo and Synplicity also have similar "rtl" viewers.
My favorite is the Modelsim (with a full license) "dataflow" viewer
that shows each process as a box. Or you can just draw boxes
and wires in your notebook, and verify with simulation.

Yes.
In the hierarchy view on the left, under synthesize, there is an option for
"view RTL". That should do it...
