PLL simulation with Altera Modelsim starter edidtion

Question

Hello,

When I try to simulate Altera PLL generated with Megawizard using Altera Modelsim starter edition I am getting error message : (vlog-13006) Could not find the package (altera_lnsim_functions).

I am using .vo file for the PLL simulation.

Thanks.

If you use the .v file instead of the .vo file, will the same issue occur? You could double check if any library not being compiled also.

Are you adding and compiling the right Altera library in ModelSim? You will need to add and compile the 'altera_mf.v' library, which comes as part of the Quartus installation. You'll find it under:

<quartus_install_path>/quartus/eda/sim_lib/altera_mf.v

Cheers,

Alex

Alex,

Thanks!

Yes. I compiled the library.

When I used Mentor's ModelSim/QuestaSim before I never had this kind of problem.

This time I have to use the ModelSim Altera Starter edition and I am getting this issue.

Thanks,
