"Warning: - signal not found in VCD" Error message with Quartus Prime Lite Edition v21.1 and Questa
Did the Questa Intel Starter FPGA Edition introduce limitations which made it more or less useless compared to the ASE version?
I ran an old script (with vsim/vlog commands) using the Questa SFE and any generated VCD appears to be empty:
$date
Mon Dec 13 15:36:06 2021
$end
$version
Questa Intel Starter FPGA Edition Version 2021.2
$end
$timescale
1ps
$end
$scope module testbench $end
$upscope $end
$scope begin std $end
$upscope $end
$enddefinitions $end
#0
$dumpvars
$end
A do file which will try to add all signals results in:
# Error in macro ./modelsim_ase.do line 1
# ** UI-Msg: (vish-4014) No objects found matching '/*'.
And removing this results in:
vsim -view vsim.wlf
WLF file vsim.wlf contains no context information.
Is this the expected behavior using Questa SFE? Or did the cli to the vlog/vsim command change?
