8 years agoThe simulation doesn't work in the free edition. I think is due to I am doing a co-simulation (simulations with both verilog and vhdl). My professor told me that that in the past was not possible with the free edition. I got an error which was related to "param"-something or "parameter"-something (I don't recall the exact naming). It doesn't show up in the licensed questasim version.
Exporting the Altera libraries to Questasim was actually quite easy. Note that I am using linux (Ubuntu). In the modelsim "toplevel" directory (in the default case, the ~/intelFPGA/17.1/modelsim or ~/intelFPGA_lite/17.1/modelsim directory), you can find a folder called "Altera". Just copy this one to the "toplevel" directory of questasim (I don't know the default directory, but I unpacked questasim in "~/intelFPGA/17.1/V10.6C") and it worked flawlessly (after including the right libraries in the simulation command/simulation configuration window).
