Set Up the Simulation Environment
You must add directories containing the Intel® Quartus® Prime and
Questa* simulation software binaries to your
PATH
environment
variable.
Commands listed in this topic assume that you have installed the
Questa* simulation software alongside the FPGA add-on package, as
mentioned in the Simulation
Prerequisites. If
you installed the Questa* simulation software elsewhere, you must
modify the
PATH
environment variable appropriately. For Intel® Quartus® Prime Software (Simulation flow only)
For the FPGA simulation flow only, you must explicitly add the Intel®
Quartus® Prime software binary directory to your
PATH
environment
variable using the following command:- Linux$ export PATH=$PATH:<quartus_installdir>/quartus/bin
- Windowsset "PATH=%PATH%;<quartus_installdir>\quartus\bin64"Additionally, you must also set theOCL_ICD_FILENAMESvariable to specify the Installable Client Driver (ICD) to load.set "OCL_ICD_FILENAMES=%OCL_ICD_FILENAMES%;alteracl_icd.dll"
For Questa*-Intel® FPGA Starter Edition Software
For the free Questa*-Intel® FPGA Starter Edition software, run the
following command:
- Linux$ export PATH=$PATH:<quartus_installdir>/questa_fse/bin
- Windowsset "PATH=%PATH%;<quartus_installdir>\questa_fse\win64"
For Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition Software
For the licensed Questa*-Intel® FPGA Edition software, run the following
command:
- Linux$ export PATH=$PATH:<quartus_installdir>/questa_fe/bin
- Windowsset "PATH=%PATH%;<quartus_installdir>\questa_fe\win64"
You should now be able to successfully compile for simulation.
