SIMULATION
=============================================================

-------------------- MODELSIM ------------------------

* Before the simulation can be run, the XilinxCoreLib
library needs to be compiled.  Also, it has to have
been compiled after the installation of 7.1i or a later
IP UPDATE.  If this has not been done, please install
the latest IP UPDATE.  Then follow Xilinx Solution 2561.

* If using ModelSim XE (Xilinx Edition), the models
are precompiled.  Go to the following site and make
sure that the latest models have been downloaded:
http://support.xilinx.com/support/mxelibs/index.htm
Again, 8.1i or later is needed to run this simulation.


-------------------- ISE PROJECT ------------------------
Steps to Simulate:
1.Unzip the downloaded to a user chosen directory
 
2.Open ISE and select "Open project" under the file menu 

3.Select the example_name.npl file found in the previously 
  unzipped directory

4.To view individual items of code, double click on the file in
  "Sources in Project" window

5.To functionally simulate the core, highlight the testbench, and
  double click the "Simulate Post-Translate Verilog model" in the 
  "Processes for Current Source" window


----------------- OTHER SIMULATORS -------------------

The exact commands for other simulators are not
provided in this file.  Please see the following
site for tutorials on using other simulators:
