EDA Simulation Library Compilation Error

have you checked if c:/altera/11.1/quartus/eda/sim_lib/mentor/ exists? are you using QII Web or Subscription?

the directory is present on 11.1 Subscription on my machine

if you're really in a pinch you, there are other scripts you can try:

Im using the Quartus II web. and yes I just checked, the directory mentor/ doesnt exist in my machine. Does that implies that I cant use Quartus II web with Modelsim SE ?Instead I should go for Modelsim-Altera?

You could just install Quartus II full-edition. That'll get you the libraries. It doesn't matter than you cannot run the software. In fact, I think you can run the software, but only for 30 days.

Modelsim-ASE can be used in single-language mode. You could install it too, just as a test to see what libraries are needed to get things working.

Unfortunately, the Modelsim compiled libraries are not compatible, so you can't just vmap the Modelsim-SE libraries to point to the Modelsim-ASE libraries.

I have Modelsim-SE and ASE installed.

Cheers,

Dave

Thank you! I have Modelsim-ASE too. The compilation and simulation in Modelsim-ASE runs perfectly. I just have problems with ModelSim SE. I guess I just stick to Modelsim-ASE

If Modelsim-ASE works fine, then you should be able to get Modelsim-SE working too. The Modelsim-ASE compiled libraries are located in

c:/software/altera/11.1sp1/modelsim_ase/altera/verilog and vhdl

(or wherever you have install the altera tools to).

You should be able to determine from Modelsim-ASE which libraries your simulation uses, and then compile those libraries for Modelsim-SE. Even if you have to get some of the source from the full-edition, its not that much work. Uninstall it once you have the files.

This script needs an update for the newer families (ie, Cyclone IV E/GX).

But otherwise, it has worked fine for me in the past.
