When you instantiate a VHDL component in a Verilog/SV module or a Verilog/SV module in a VHDL architecture, the xelab command:

  • First searches for a unit of the same language as that of the instantiating design unit.
  • If a unit of the same language is not found, xelab searches for a cross-language design unit in the libraries specified by the -L option.

The search order is the same as the order of appearance of libraries on the xelab command line.

Note: When using the Vivado IDE, the library search order is specified automatically. No user intervention is necessary or possible.
