Complete Quartus/ModelSim-Altera project

Are there an simple but complete VHDL projects available for Quartus 14.0 that include a VHDL test bench file? Simple meaning that the design is a counter or shift register. It has been about 10 year...

Hi Scott,

ModelSim-Altera has it's own GUI. The tutorials I ran used that. I used to do everything command line driven but some tools I use no longer give that option so I am adapting.

Ah, sorry, I misinterpreted your question.

If you followed the Modelsim tutorials, then I think it produces a log file. If you look at that log file, it essentially uses all the commands I wrote in the sim.tcl script.

You can use the Modelsim GUI to build; hex_display_pkg.vhd, hex_display.vhd, and hex_display_tb.vhd, and then figure out whatever the GUI equivalent to "vsim hex_display_tb" is and then whatever the GUI command for "do scripts/hex_display_tb.do" is. Personally I've never had much of a reason to use the GUI "GUI" elements, when the Tcl console works great! (And arguably, it is part of the GUI) :)

Cheers,

Dave
