Set Up the VSS Working Environment
To use the Quartus II software with Synopsys VHDL System Simulator
(VSS) software, you must first install the Quartus II software, then
establish an environment that facilitates entering and processing designs.
The Quartus II/Synopsys interface is installed automatically when
you install the Quartus II software on your computer. Refer to the
Quartus II Installation & Licensing for PCs or the
Quartus II Installation & Licensing for UNIX Workstation
manuals for more information on installing the software and the directories
that are created during the Quartus II installation. One of the directories
created during the Quartus II installation is /quartus/eda/sim_lib,
which contains the VHDL functional
simulation libraries and timing
simulation libraries for Quartus II primitives.
Make sure you have installed the following versions
of the Quartus II software and the VSS software: -
|
Synopsys |
Altera |
|
VSS
version 2002.06 |
Quartus II
version 5.0 |
This version of the VSS software supports all Altera devices supported
by the Quartus II software.
|
|
The Quartus II Software Release Notes are available
on the Altera web site
and provide up-to-date information on which versions of Synopsys software
applications are supported by the current version of the Quartus II
software. The Quartus II readme.txt file provides information
on installation and operating requirements. You should read the Release
Notes and readme.txt file before installing the Quartus II
software. After installation, you can open the Release Notes and readme.txt
file from the Quartus II Help menu. |
To set up your working environment for the Quartus II/VSS
software interface: -
|
|
(For UNIX workstations only) The information presented
here assumes that you are using the C shell and that your Quartus II
system directory is /usr/quartus.
If not, you must use the appropriate syntax and procedures to set environment
variables for your shell. |
- Add the /usr/quartus/bin directory to
the
PATH environment variable in your .cshrc file
in order to run the Quartus II software.
- Source your .cshrc file by typing
source
.cshrc  at the UNIX prompt.
To continue with the VSS simulation flow, proceed
