Occasional ContributorQPP 26.1.0 Tools->Generate Simulator Setup Script produces no output
Occasional ContributorHi Robert,
Good day! To better understand your issue, I would like to check a few details with you.
Have you run Processing → Start Compilation before executing Tools → Generate Simulator Setup Script?
Regarding the log you mentioned earlier, would you mind sharing it with us for further review?
Also, just to confirm — when working on Ubuntu Linux, do both methods (Tools → Generate Simulator Setup Script and ip-sim-script) work correctly and produce the expected simulation files without any issues?
Additionally, could you let us know which simulator you are currently using?
Thank you so much!
Regards,
Zi Ying
Occasional ContributorHello Zi Ying,
On Windows, I did perform a full compile with IP generation before running Tools → Generate Simulator Setup Script
Below is the log I see in Quartus when using Windows:
Info: Running command: ip-setup-simulation --quartus-project=ml_module_agilex --revision=ml_module_agilex --output-directory=C:/Projects/fw_ml_module_local/sim/win --use-relative-paths --modelsim-flow=Traditional --simulator=MODELSIM
Info: Process finished
I notice that ip-setup-simulation is used instead of ip-make-simscript.
Below is what I ran in a Quartus shell on Windows to create the sim scripts:
ip-make-simscript --output-directory="C:\Projects\fw_ml_module_local\sim\win" --spd="C:\Projects\fw_ml_module_local\ip\pll_io\pll_io.spd,C:\Projects\fw_ml_module_local\ip\ddr_o\ddr_o.spd,C:\Projects\fw_ml_module_local\ip\ddr_i\ddr_i.spd,C:\Projects\fw_ml_module_local\ip\dsp\dsp.spd" --use-relative-paths --modelsim-flow=traditional --simulator=MODELSIM --device=A3CY050BB18AI6S --device-family="Agilex 3"
Both the IDE and command line seem to work fine on Ubuntu Linux 24,04, but I am not able to run Questa (free version) on Ubuntu 24.04, so I don't know if there are problems with the produced output.
I'll be happy to provide any additional information.
