Modelsim ASE starter not directly support UVM

    Hi,


    Unfortunately ModelSim does not have pre-compiled UVM features. You are probably thinking of Questa Sim.


    You need to download UVM source files, you can do that here: https://www.accellera.org/downloads/standards/uvm


    And you'll need to compile the uvm_pkg as well.


    vlog -work work -sv -stats=none C:/work/ST/simulation/tb_captur_1.sv <uvm_pkg path>/uvm_pkg.sv +incdir+<UVM source path>/src


    Regards,

    Hi Nurina

    Sorry for late response, I just back from vacation.

    I tried v20.1 in another server, but the result is the same:

    #
    # Top level modules:
    # tb_capture_1
    # vsim -c tb_capture_1 -voptargs=""+acc=r""
    # Start time: 10:47:37 on Jul 13,2021
    # ** Fatal: (vsim-7019) Can't locate a C/C++ compiler for 'DPI Export Compilation'.
    #
    # FATAL ERROR while loading design
    # Error loading design
    # Error: Error loading design

    I already set the environment variable in that server, and use same command parameters.

    Since the problem is already different from original question, I think you might close this question, and I may do some experiment in different tools. Thanks for so much helps!
