Initial setup

Important: These steps must be completed before running the Tcl examples.

1. Create, and change to a new working directory for the Tcl/Tk exercises. Copy the lesson files in the following directory (include all subdirectories and files) to your new directory:



<install_dir>\modeltech\examples\tcl_tutorial 

2. Make the new directory the current directory, then invoke ModelSim:

for UNIX

vsim 

for Windows (from a shortcut or Start > Run, etc.)

modelsim.exe 

3. At the ModelSim prompt, create a work library in the /vhdl directory:



vlib vhdl/work 

4. Map the work library.



vmap work vhdl/work 

5. Compile the VHDL example files with these commands (or the Compile dialog box):



vcom vhdl/traffic.vhd 
vcom vhdl/queue.vhd 
vcom vhdl/tb_traffic.vhd
