Modelsim Ubuntu Crack

ModelSim is a very powerful HDL simulation environment, and as such can be difficult to master. To correctly simulate many complex test benches, you will need to create and use a ModelSim project manually. Note that throughout this tutorial we assume you are attempting to simulate a purely Verilog.

This script installs all the 32 bit library dependencies of modelsim and also compiles freetype.

Hi teja,
I tried to install modelsim 10.1c under ubuntu 14.04 following all your steps but still encountered the libfreetype problem that returned:
** Fatal: Read failure in vlm process (0,0)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

In the 'modelsim_custom_libfreetype.sh' script it returned 'Add the following line
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${dir}/lib32
after this line
dir=dirname $arg0
in the file /usr/local/modelsim/modeltech/lib32/vco' at last
There's no that file in the location 'xxxxx/modelsim/modeltech/lib32/'.Should I copy a 'vco' from 'xxxxxx/modelsim/modeltech/.' and then edit it?

in configure_modelsim.sh you may want {} around ALTERA_PATH in instead of parenthesis, also there should not be a '/' after the {} if you have one in the definition of ALTERA_PATH.

unfortunately, after running this script (ubuntu 14.04.1) i still get the same read failure vlm process..

actually.. this is now working for me after making the following changes to configure_modelsim.sh and running it:

  • changing ALTERA_PATH=~/altera/13.1/ to =~/altera/*/
  • $(ALTERA_PATH)/ to ${ALTERA_PATH} in 2 locations

then updating modelsim_env.sh and running that

THANKS!!

You might have trouble with your NIC not being called eth0 (or ethX) as expected by modelsim, which will make it fail to accept your license file. A workaround is described at http://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/mini-howtos/change-default-network-name-ens33-to-old-eth0-on-ubuntu-16-04.html

For details about what you're disabling, check FreeDesktop on predictable network interfaces

Problem

just a big THANK YOU for these scripts, I was really struggling to get ModelSim 10.5b running on Ubuntu 18.04 until I found these
