Hello,

I have the SATA HOST controller program from the university of 
massachusettes for ML405 board. However if I try to run the downloaded 
project on my Xilinx ISE 14.6, it gives many errors. I am just trying to 
simulate the project without connecting to the hardware. What might be 
the reason for so many errors and how should it be solved?
The snapshot of the error list is attached with this file.
I actually downloaded the project file created by one Mr: Gormann from 
this website.

I have not yet connected any hardware and just wanted to run this 
project on my Xilinx ISE 14.6. When I did so I got many errors. I want 
yo know if its required to connect the hardware before executing this 
project? Also do I need some user interface softwares like tera com, 
impact to be downloaded onto my PC as I want to implement SATA read / 
write. Is it possible that the entire project has not been uploaded by 
the designer on the website I have listed? Please suggest about how this 
problem should be solved.

I have been asked to adapt any previously written code for a SATA 
controller for the ML 605 board which we have and demonstrate the read / 
write capability and we donot have any purchased IP core. Please advice 
on how to go about doing this?
