MvcHome

Still trying to get a simulation running.

This is for a Cyclone V, with an ARM and a NIOS CPU.

I am getting two basic errors when I try to run the simulation, but they might be related. The first error that pops up is:

# ** Error: (vsim-8388) Could not find the MVC shared library : MvcHome not specified. Please specify in modelsim.ini or on command line (-mvchome).

I know how to set teh MvcHome variable: In the Modelsim.ini file I can add the line MvcHome = <path>. What I don't know is what the path is.

Would this be something that was generated by Qsys and thus in a sub directory of my project?

Would it be a library that was included in the Altera installation directory?

Is it something that I need to obtain from a third party?

The next errors I get are of this nature:

** Error: (vsim-3033) Z:/Abaxis/RomuLus/FPGA_ARM_NIOS/Romulus_CPU_cores/simulation/submodules/Romulus_CPU_cores_nios2_qsys_0_cpu.vo(17862): Instantiation of 'oper_add' failed. The design unit was not found.

# ** Error: (vsim-3033) Z:/Abaxis/RomuLus/FPGA_ARM_NIOS/Romulus_CPU_cores/simulation/submodules/Romulus_CPU_cores_nios2_qsys_0_cpu.vo(18166): Instantiation of 'oper_less_than' failed. The design unit was not found.

If someone can tell me how to resolve these issues I would be greatly appreciative.
