New ContributorRunning Questa simulation with runtime arguments in Quartus Lite
Hello,
I had a previous post about using runtime arguments in the Questa simulation flow that was solved, but that post used Quartus Pro simulation flow. Now I am using Quartus Lite and I want to see if there is a way to implement this with the Quartus Lite simulation flow. The flow is the same as in Quartus Standard Edition, found here. What I've tried doing is going to Assignment s> Settings > EDA Tool Settings > Simulation > More NativeLink Settings, and in the "Additional custom simulation elaboration options" field, I would add my runtime argument like "+RUNTIME_ARG". However, when I try this, nothing in the simulation changes. I didn't see any indication that adding the custom options there changes anything, so maybe that wasn't the right approach. Is there something else I can do?

I have never used these "additional custom simulation elaboration options" and haven't seen anyone use them before, so it's best to avoid them for now.
When using Nativelink, it automatically generates a .do file in your 'simulation' directory. You can modify it and add the arguments directly there.

allenS1Hi Richard,
Yes this answered my question. I just added my arguments to the generated do file and ran that. Thanks so much for the help.
Best,
