Getting Started; Opening An Example - Xilinx Spartan-6 User Manual

Getting Started

The steps in this section must be observed to run simulations:

Opening an Example

The user can double-click on any FFS file in Windows Explorer to start a project in
HyperLynx. This user guide uses GTP_Tx_channel_GTP_Rx as an example, but this
discussion applies to the other testbenches as well. The user can double-click on the
GTP_RefClk.ffs or the GTP_Tx_channel_GTP_Rx.ffs file in the hl_projects
directory in Windows Explorer to start HyperLynx. Because the latter file is the more
complicated testbench, the remaining part of this document discusses that testbench only.
HyperLynx should start without any error or warning messages and look as shown in

be removed from the schematics because it is used to insert global simulation parameters, such as
.TEMP and .option compat (the HSPICE compatibility switch for Eldo), into the project. These
parameters are managed automatically by the configurator programs. Removing J0 results in
incorrect simulations.
