Honored ContributorInstalled Quartus II 9.1. cannot find a single document telling me how to correctly launch it. What environment variables do I need, what to source. I have gotten most of it working, but I would like to know the correct way of running it.
Please add the right documentation, this is not Free software (which usually happen to have better docs though) Regards
Honored Contributori actually filed a documentation enhancement request this week on the same issue.
for using Quartus you'll need to set a minimum of QUARTUS_ROOTDIR to the path to the quartus directory and appending $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/bin to your path. to use the Nios tools etc there are a few more bin directories to add to your path, for example $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/../nios2eds/bin then you can run: quartus at the command line. :cool:Honored ContributorThat is great. With all this run into a problem,
$ vsim Error: cannot find /opt/altera9.1/modelsim_ase/bin/linux/vsim This gives me an idea that a symlink is missing. I think I need to do this ~ ]$ cd /opt/altera9.1/modelsim_ase/bin/ bin]$ ln -s ../linux . This does make it better, I don't know if this is right or I am missing something. Looking at the driving script, they do expect bin/linux to be there, I think the installation script forgets to make the symlink. Looking through the installation log, I do see partial instructions for exporting the environment. This is strange, that would be the last place I would look for "Instructions".Honored Contributori believe its actually supposed to be /opt/altera9.1/modelsim_ase/linuxaloem added to your path.
