Cannot generate a License on the self licensing tool
Several weeks ago, I downloaded Quartus Lite to program my MAX10. While I can now code a system configuration in VHDL and program it into the MAX10 FPGA, I cannot simulate my designs. Quartus Lite comes with the Questa FSE simulator, but I cannot use it. I know I need a license, but I cannot generate it from the Self Licensing tool (SSCL). I registered at the tool and can now login (although I never gotten the confirmation email). However, when clicking on "Sign up for Evaluation or Free Licenses", it just shows "No products available to sign up". Moreover, I cannot use the "License assistant" since this just opens up a blank window. I've tried this on different browsers on different OS, and I have this problem everywhere. (as shown in the attached screenshot) It's really frustrating, as my current design does not work and I have no means to simulate it to figure out where it is going wrong! Can anyone provide pointers on how to solve this problem.? PS: I asked this at general support, but they just said "ask the forum", so here I am.
Questa simulation hangs (nondeterministic)
I run a Questa simulation for an IP core from the command line on a Linux server. Usually, the simulation finishs successfully. But every now and then the simulation hangs. When it hangs, I can see that the CPU load is 100% but I can't break the simulation by hitting Ctrl-C. The key-press is detected ("# Break key hit") but the simulation won't halt. Since I use the same seed for random number generation in each run, this seems like nondeterministic behavior. I have no clue, where this behavior is comming from. Are there any command line options that I can use to get closer to the problem? How can I go one with debugging in such a case?
Quartus-Questa Compilation Simulation Dependency Management
Hello, I had a question about dependency management using Quartus and Questa. For a FPGA project that I'm working on, I noticed that when I do Tools->Run Simulation->RTL Simulation, a .do file gets generated, with vlog commands with the systemverilog/library/package files that need to get compiled. However, when trying to use it to run vsim commands in Questa, I noticed that some files were failing to include each other, and when going through the .do file, I noticed that some dependencies were not properly resolved (eg. a package would be compiled after the systemverilog file that tries to import it). For other softwares, I'm aware of functions such as smartorder for Xcelium and autoorder for Modelsim which takes care of dependency ordering. Is there a feature similar to autoorder from Modelsim in Questa? If so, how can I implement it? Thank youGuidelines & Information on Questa-Intel FPGA Edition Software
To the Intel Community, As you may aware, Modelsim-Intel FPGA Edition will be replaced by Questa-Intel FPGA Edition Software (including Starter Edition) starting from Intel Quartus Pro Edition 21.3 and Intel Quartus Standard Edition 21.1 onward. Does the Questa-Intel FPGA *Starter Edition Software requires a license? One thing to take note that Questa-Intel FPGA *Starter Edition Software requires a license (free cost) whereas Modelsim-Intel FPGA *Starter Edition does not require a license. To get the license, we will need to generate the license from Intel® FPGA Self Service Licensing Center (SSLC). The license is free for one-year and perpetual. Once the license expires, regenerate the license to continue using the latest Questa-Intel FPGA *Starter Edition Software. Why does the SSLC GUI changed? For those whom have used SSLC before, you may notice that the SSLC has changed to a new GUI recently. If you have never access the SSLC previously, the above URL webpage may ask you to register an account in Intel FPGA SSLC. Click Next: Verify and wait for an email confirmation. Once you receive the email confirmation, do log out your Intel account and login again to generate the license required in SSLC. If you don't have access to the Intel® FPGA Self Service Licensing Center (SSLC), register to get an account by clicking the URL here - Register for Intel® FPGA Self Service Licensing Center (SSLC) How to generate license in the SSLC? In the SSLC, select the Questa*-Intel® FPGA Starter Edition SW-QUESTA and fill in the number of seats required. Once you have read the license terms of use, click the "I have read and agree to the terms of use of this license as listed below". Proceed to click Get License. A window will pop out to ask which computer should the license assigned to. Option 1. Click Create a New Computer if you want assign the license to a new computer and you will need to fill in the required hardware information. Checkout the Hardware Information Required When You Request a License Option 2. Click Assign an Existing Computer and search for the computer name/NIC ID that you have created previously in your current Intel account. To check the computers list, you may use the new License Assistant available at the https://licensing.intel.com . Choose Regenerate license by Primary Computer > View all computers and select to view the computers list. Or in the Computers and License Files tab, you can check your current active computer list. Click Generate and an email with the license attached will be sent to your email address. How to set up license for the Questa-Intel FPGA *Starter Edition Software? For Windows: 1. Get a license.dat file first 2. Go to "My PC", right click properties 3. Click Advanced System Setting. 4. In the "Advanced" tab, click environment variable. In the "System Variable", create a New variable with name= LM_LICENSE_FILE, set value=<license.dat path name> 5. Click OK and restart the Questa software. Alternatively, a shortcut you can use is - open command prompt and key in below command to set up the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment: setx LM_LICENSE_FILE <license.dat path name> example: setx LM_LICENSE_FILE C:\intelFPGA\license.dat For Linux, this can be done in the shell using the using the setenv or export command depending on the shell. export LM_LICENSE_FILE=<path_to_license_file> setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE "path_to_license_file" Do checkout below URL to know more on: What's new in Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition Software User Guide on Intel® FPGA Software Installation and Licensing Common Licensing Q & A How to Get and Manage License Where to get License Daemon Hope it helps.
