Since version 22, Questa software rather than ModelSim has been a part of Quartus Prime Suite for design simulation. Although the techniques for the simulation and NativeLink are the same as those in ModelSim, some problems could arise. Following is a list of some of these concerns:
Issue: Questa requires a license to run. #
To execute Questa software, at least a temporary free license must be downloaded from Intel.
Issue: When trying to simulate a Nios II Eclipse project, the folloging commandos should be executed from Questa command prompt: #
do load_sim.tcl.
ld_debugChange the ld to ld_debug will make all signals show up.
