Honored ContributorHi all!
I am using Altera Modelsim, which is tcl-based. I use the GUI. In the console, when I type the command puts "a" I get not output: ModelSim> set a 1 # 1 ModelSim> echo $a # 1 ModelSim> puts $a ModelSim> puts "a" ModelSim> Can anyone explain that? Thx
Honored Contributoron the other hand, each time a "set" command is executed, there is a trace in the console with the value
Why is that?Honored Contributorputs will put messages into the host OS's console window (i see this on linux). i'm not sure where they'd go if you are using Windows.
echo prints to the ModelSim transcript window as you've seen.Honored Contributorcorrect.
Is there a way to redirect the host OS's console into ModelSim's console?Honored Contributoryou'd have to find a tcl channelid for the ModelSim console. i'm not sure if there is one.
Honored ContributorOK. Thanks!
Honored ContributorI have encountered the same problem, were you able to find a solution?
Honored ContributorI encountered this issue a long time ago. If you compare "echo" vs "puts" on a Linux version of modelsim, you will see "puts" output going to the terminal that launches the Modelsim process, whereas "echo" prints to the Modelsim console output.
I never bothered to figure out how to redirect puts, I just used echo in my scripts :) Cheers, DaveHonored ContributorI would do the same but I have a lot of automated simulations and thus many files to change. Apart from that I also take input using gets and I assume I will run in to some problems there.
Honored ContributorHonored ContributorHello Dave,
As I have neither a Mentor ID nor a service contract I would greatly appreciate if you would ask them. [edit] For now I launch Modelsim from the command line executing vsimk
intelFPGA_lite/16.1/modelsim_ase/linux/vsimk
