ReSim-4: Need to use ModelSim/QuestaSim FULL version #4

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When running ReSim examples, ModelSim can successfully compile the library and 
the example source code but fail to load the design. 

ModelSim only reports "Error loading the design" but does not give further 
details on what is the error.

Up-to version 2.3b, ReSim can only be used with the following simulators:

QuestaSim, Full edition
ModelSim SE, Full edition

In particular, ReSim does not support student edition of ModelSim. 

If you do not have access to the above full versions of ModelSim/QuestaSim, 
Mentor Graphics do have University Programs for students. Please refer to 
http://www.mentor.com/company/higher_ed/ to apply for FULL editions of the 
ModelSim SE/QuestaSim simulator.

We aim to add support for the free, ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition, in version 
2.3c version of ReSim. ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition is the Altera OEM 
version of the ModelSim simulator 
(http://www.altera.com/products/software/quartus-ii/modelsim/qts-modelsim-index.
html). It does support SystemVerilog and OVM, but it

* Does not support mixed VHDL/Verilog or VHDL/SystemVerilog simulation
* Does not support advanced verification features such as coverage, assertion, 
randomization
* The design size and the simulation performance is limited

Please refer to ModelSim-ASE homepage for further information. 

Due to the above limitations, using ModelSim-ASE, you will be able to simulate 
the "XDRS.QUICKSTART" and the "XDRS.MULTIPLE" reference designs. You will not 
be able to run other reference designs. 

Support for ModelSim-ASE is still under testing. You can checkout the latest 
development of ReSim from here 
(http://code.google.com/p/resim-simulating-partial-reconfiguration/source/checko
ut). The ReSim project uses git as the version control tool. Please refer to 
this page (http://git-scm.com/) to get "git". The git commit hash that has this 
fix is "16bb0be97255"
