New ContributorError: Can't Launch Questa Intel Starter FPGA Edition from Quartus Prime Pro tool.
Hi Sohan,
Check this link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683472/22-1/and-software-license.html and this link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/quartushelp/17.0/mapIdTopics/jka1465598270294.htm
Specifying the following commands below in .cshrc or .bashrc file (Linux):
export LM_LICENSE_FILE=<path to license>:$LM_LICENSE_FILE
setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE "<path_to_license_file>"
Note: Linux: You must source your .cshrc (source ~/.cshrc) or .bashrc (source ~/.bashrc) file before restarting the software.
Thanks,
Regards,
Sheng
Super ContributorHi Sohan,
FYI. There're some differences between Quartus Pro Edition and Quartus Std/Lite Edition in terms of simulation.
Quartus Std/Lite Edition got nativelink simulation (launch simulator within Quartus) while Quartus Pro Edition don't have nativelink simulation (launch simulator outside Quartus).
Quartus Pro Edition simulation have to use simulation setup script check this link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683870/21-3/sourcing-modelsim-simulator-setup-scripts.html. The simulation steps can be checked from document https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/691278/21-3/generate-a-simulator-setup-script-template.html and video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eviC0jP90ZA&t=1s
Launch Simulator Compilier Library is something to compile the simulation library only, it wouldn't launch the simulator.
Thanks,
Regards,
Sheng
