Hi Fred,

Since you are using old version of Quartus. You can use native link to setup the simulation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmVVXQchv2c

From there, it will show you the correct steps and you can refer to the scripts that it used.

Also, you need to turn on the netlist generation in the megawizard as well.

I would suggest you upgrade to latest release of Quartus 18.1 if the device that you use permit.

Hi KTan, Great. Now I have another issue: for some reason, when I launch the Tools -> Run Simulation Tool -> RTL simulation, Quartus II will re-generate "do" file that contains to read vho file. If I comment out vho file within do file, ModelSim can bypass that point. Now for some reason Quartus looks know I will overwrite do file; then, it will generate do file before I overwrite it. As a result, Now I can't bypass that point. My question: Do you know how to disable Quartus to generate do file in every times? Thanks -Fred
