Library lpm not found

Question

Hello

We are investigating simulating NIOSII with Modelsim.

We are using Quartus II 10.1sp1 web edition , modelsim ASE (Starter).

I have created a NIOSII with SOPC and generated the sim file (through SOPC).

Then I use ECLIPSE to generate a flashing LED. (It work on hardware).

I am then trying to run configuration => Modelsim Configuration

Modelsim ASE opens, but when I use the "s" command (Loads all design files into modelsim work library) , I was missing ALTERA_MF, SGATE, 220MODEL , I have included them (I found them on my computer at C:\altera\10.1sp1\modelsim_ase\altera\vhdl\)

Now the tool seems happy with those lib added , but the Library lpm is not found .I have tried to add the path C:\altera\10.1sp1\quartus\libraries\vhdl\lpm (this is the only place on my computer that I can find the folder lpm). The tools tells me the lib is not available. The folder is there , with only one file in it : lpm_pack.vhd)

1) Why are all the file not included in my sim folder created by SOPC ?

I can see others related simulation files in there but not Altera_mf...)

2) Any idea how I can keep going ?

Is it related to the fact I am using the free version of the tools ? (Modesim starter , Quartus web ).

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards

Benoit

look for a folder in the modelsim directory called 220model. That is the LPM library for modelsim.

Hello Tricky

Thanks for your reply.

220MODEL is included in my library path (add new lib...). I know there is files starting with lpm in there but none are lpm only. (lpm_abs, lpm_add_sub...)

I have an on_chip_mem that refer to Library lpm :

on_chip_mem.vhd (generated by SOPC)

Library lpm

use lpm.all;

Modeslim tells me he cannot find it. : Library lpm not found.

when you map to the directory, you need to name the library as lpm, not 220model.

Hi Ben,

I'm having the same problem as you concerning the lpm library not found. Could you please tell me the exact commands or steps you did to map to the lpm library? I'm trying to use Tricky's advice of renaming 220model to lpm but no luck so far.
