    Hi @MGRAV,

    Noted and thank you for your feedback, now it is clearer to me, indeed the ubuntu are not supported, references for the support OS for HLS can be found here (CentOS is one of them).
    Good to know that it is working now, with that we would be closing the thread and transitioned to community support.

    Best Wishes

Hi Mathieu,

Thanks for the quick response. It's evident that you are using FPGA Devcloud from the links which you shared. This forum is intended to handle oneAPI devcloud issues. We have a dedicated forum ( Intel® High Level Design Forum ) to handle FPGA related issues. So, we are moving this thread to Intel high level design forum where the experts in FPGA will guide you in your query.

Please follow up your query in the below link:

Hi @MGRAV

Thank you for posting in Intel community forum, hope this message find you well and apologies for the delayed in response.
Quick check, is this issues still persisting? Clarification is the error happening on the devcloud or on your local machine where HLS are installed? If in devcloud in which node are you trying to connect to to run the HLS emulation? What are the command that you have executed which gets the error mention?

Suspecting that modelsim might not be installed maybe? If that is the case, it can be download in the following link here. (i.e. please do select the appropriate version accordingly)

Warm regards.

    Hi,

    Yep, the problem si still around, and yes on the devcloud.

    To connect I use the script as stated here : https://github.com/intel/FPGA-Devcloud/tree/master/main/Devcloud_Access_Instructions#devcloud-access-instructions

    I use the devcloud_login and tools_setup, so it's not always the same nodes, but for example now I am connected on the s005-n004 and no ways to make it work. But end December, early January I try many nodes and the problem look to be common to each one.

    Best,

    Mathieu

      Hi @MGRAV,

      Apologize for the delay in response, by any chances did you managed to try the steps to download and installed the modelsim tool?
      The error message seems to be stated that the tools are missing.
      Please do try out and let us know if any difficulties after that.

      Warm regards

        Hi @BoonBengT_Altera ,

        I am working on macOS. Sure I could make a VM and install it. But is it not the reason for the existence of the DevCloud ? That we don't need to go through the pain of the installation, licenses, etc. ?

        So let make it simple:

        - The tools are installed and the problem seems pretty simple to me. It's a 32-bit software as file confirm it.

        file /glob/development-tools/versions/intelFPGA_pro/20.modelsim_ae/linuxaloem/vsim

        - The error is generally due to the absence of the 32-bit version of the libraries. Is not simpler to install the missing libraries ?
