Verilog Instantiation Unit - 2022.1 English

When a Verilog design instantiates a component, the xelab command treats the component name as a Verilog unit and searches for a Verilog module in the user-specified list of unified logical libraries in the user-specified order.

• If found, xelab binds the unit and the search stops.
• If the case-sensitive search is not successful, xelab performs a case-insensitive search for a VHDL design unit name constructed as an extended identifier in the user-specified list and order of unified logical libraries, selects the first one matching name, then stops the search.
• If xelab finds a unique binding for any one library, it selects that name and stops the search.
  Note: For a mixed language design, the port names used in a named association to a VHDL entity instantiated by a Verilog module are always treated as case insensitive. Also note that you cannot use a defparam statement to modify a VHDL generic. See Using Mixed Language Simulation, for more information.
  Important: Connecting a whole VHDL record object to a Verilog object is unsupported.
