Resources Description; Mentor Graphics ModelSim and QuestaSim Support: This comprehensive chapter from the Quartus ® Prime Development Software Handbook provides step-by-step instructions for performing functional register transfer level (RTL), functional post-synthesis, or post-fitting timing simulations with the ModelSim-Altera and ModelSim simulators. If it is true that 'For recent Quartus and Modelsim, you don't need a licence for Quartus Lite and Modelsim-Intel FPGA Edition', absolutely I would like to download a 2008 VHDL version simulator. Writing code in VHDL 2008 is much easier than in VHDL 2002.

Modelsim is essential for simulation of hardware description languages such as VHDL, Verilog and SystemC. Modelsim includes also a powerful C debugger.

ModelSim can be used independently or in conjunction with Altera Quartus or Xilinx ISE/Vivado. The HDL simulation can be performed either using the graphical user interface (GUI) or automatically using TCL/TK scripts.

Modelsim runs under FlexLm license and, as you can imagine, a single license is quite expensive for an end user such as a student or hobbyist.

There are two opportunities to get a legal free Modelsim license:

• If you are a student, you can get a free student edition at Mentor website link
• From Altera website, downloading Quartus II web edition. Altera provides a free license limited to Altera FPGA. This means you cannot compile technology libraries of ASIC or FPGA such as Xilinx, Microsemi, but you can compile and simulate you own RTL code.

You can run the Mentor Graphics ModelSim-Altera software, provided with the Quartus II software, from the ModelSim-Altera interface or with command-line commands.

To set up a ModelSim project with the ModelSim-Altera interface:

1. If you have not already done so, set up the ModelSim-Altera working environment. Touchosc bridge mac download.

2. Start the ModelSim software.
3. To specify the project directory:

   1. On the File menu, click Change Directory. Quick gmail account creator.

   2. In the Directory Name box, type the path to the project directory .

      or

      In the Look in list, select the project directory.

   3. Click Open.

   Note: If you are performing a functional simulation, the project directory is usually the directory that contains the design files. If you are performing a timing simulation, the project directory is the <project directory>simulationmodelsim directory or the location you specified in the Output directory box of the Simulation page in the Settings dialog box.

5. To create a new work library:

   1. On the File menu, point to New and click Library. The Create a New Library dialog box appears.

   2. Under Create, click a new library and a logical mapping to it.

   3. In the Library Name box, type the library name.

   4. In the Library Maps to list, select the work library.

To set up a ModelSim project with command-line commands:

1. If you have not already done so, set up the ModelSim-Altera working environment.

2. Start the ModelSim software.

3. Change to the directory where the ModelSim libraries are located after they are compiled.

4. To create a new work library, type the following command at the ModelSim prompt:

   vlib work

   ModelSim compiles the design files to library work by default.

5. To change the default library, type the following commands at the ModelSim prompt:

   vlib <user defined library>

   vmap work <user defined library>

7. Before performing a functional or timing simulation, you should map to libraries and compile design files with the ModelSim-Altera software.

To continue the ModelSim-Altera flow, you can perform a functional simulation with the ModelSim-Altera software, and then you can perform a timing simulation with the ModelSim-Altera software.
