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

Hi,

I used your previous method of saving the UVM source files in uvm_lib folder and it worked. As long as you specify the path of the uvm library on ModelSim then it should be fine.

I believe your installation type should be fine, as long as you have the DPI tool installed (gcc-4.2.1-mingw32vc12).

Could you try to using the following source code? That one worked for me. https://www.accellera.org/downloads/standards/uvm

Hi Nurina

Good news! I found Starter Edition 20.1 can run with original UVM src (installed with modelsim). This morning I ran a wrong shortcut after a modelsim crash, I'm sorry.

Now with version 20.1, both original installed UVM src or separated downloaded source code (you suggested), can run successfully.

I will use the earlier 20.1 for current job, thanks.

I think I already have "accept as solution" for the original question, so it will be fine?
