Re: Questa Intel FPGA Edition companion license
The LM_LICENSE_FILE variable is set correctly; the license simply doesn't contain the host id for the companion computer for the "Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition - Questa Plus" feature, unlike the "Intel Quartus Prime Software - One Quartus" which includes both host ids. Please provide an email and I'll email you a copy of the license.dat if needed.2.3KViews0likes0CommentsQuesta Intel FPGA Edition companion license
I have a fixed license for Quartus Prime Pro, which includes Questa Intel FPGA Edition. I am able to run Quartus Prime fine on both my primary computer as well as the designated companion computer. However, Questa does not work at all on the companion computer. On launching the vsim UI I get a "Fatal License Error" and the transcript indicates "License Issue: Invalid host." with the path to where my license is installed and configured as LM_LICENSE_FILE. Can you help me identify how to get a working companion license for Questa?2.4KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Where is the Questa documentation?
OK it doesn't look like there's any web documentation at all really - however, the Quartus installer does dump a bunch of PDF documentation (including the user manual and the reference manual and several other relevant bits and pieces) into the questa_fse/docs/pdf_docs subdirectory of the Quartus Lite install directory - so I'm good, thanks.2.2KViews0likes0CommentsWhere is the Questa documentation?
Other than the extremely brief quick start guide, there appears to be no documentation at all that I could find on Questa Intel FPGA Edition. Where can I find links to PDF or other online user and reference documentation for the current version of the product as included with Quartus Prime?Solved2.2KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Error while trying to run Questa simulator
I also had this problem; please escalate this as a fault with the Quartus engineering team. It's very clearly a bug in the TCL code that would affect any attempt to launch Questa FSE from the menu in 22.1/Lite version of the product. nhw@MBP16:/mnt/c/intelFPGA_lite/22.1std/quartus/common/tcl/internal/nativelink$ diff -c qnativelinkflow.tcl.old qnativelinkflow.tcl *** qnativelinkflow.tcl.old 2022-12-07 15:38:42.897669900 -0500 --- qnativelinkflow.tcl 2022-12-07 15:39:35.472632200 -0500 *************** *** 119,125 **** } else { set questa_fse_directory "$quartus_path/../questa_fse" if {[file isdirectory $questa_fse_directory]} { ! set questa_installation "$questa_fse_directory set found_a_questa_installation 1 } } --- 119,125 ---- } else { set questa_fse_directory "$quartus_path/../questa_fse" if {[file isdirectory $questa_fse_directory]} { ! set questa_installation "$questa_fse_directory" set found_a_questa_installation 1 } }13KViews0likes0CommentsRe: dos2unix fails to change permissions when creating project from template
I also ran into this problem. I did some debugging and the problem is that the dos2unix command tries to change the UNIX filesystem permissions of the temporary file it creates; this fails for me in WSL. You need to tell WSL that it should allow these kinds of operations on the filesystem. You can do this as follows: Start your Ubuntu 18.04 LTS prompt Create/edit a file '/etc/wsl.conf' Add the following to '/etc/wsl.conf': [automount] options = "metadata" Save the file. Reboot your computer. I have no idea why this works for some people but not others, but this worked for me and fixed the dos2unix permissions error; at which points I was able to create the BSP and everything else in Nios II EDS worked fine.18KViews1like4Comments
