Set following options during the installation process:
- Target location:
C:\eda\MentorGraphics\ModelSim
Linux
Download Modelsim
In order to install Modelsim and/or Questa the following files need to be downloaded from R:\ETE\Ele1_8132\ELN\Software\VHDL\ModelSim\
.
- install.linux
- modelsim-base.mis | questasim-base.mis
- modelsim-docs.mis | questasim-docs.mis
- modelsim-linux_<version>.mis | questasim-linux_<version>.mis
Set executable rights
chmod +x install.linux
Execute installer
sudo ./install.linux
Follow Instructions
If possible install at location /opt/modelsim_<version>
| /opt/questasim_<version>
HDL-Designer
HDL-Designer is used to design digital circuits.
Windows
Get the installer from R:\ETE\Ele1_8132\ELN\Software\VHDL\HDL-Designer\HDS_2015.2_win.exe
.
and launch it.
Set following options during the installation process:
- Target location:
C:\eda\MentorGraphics\HDS\
- Product selection:
HDL Designer
- no dongle installation
Linux
Ask Oliver Gubler for help.
This setup is done for (K)Ubuntu
For x86-64 systems, install 32 bit libraries:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
For mulitarch systems (typically Ubuntu 12.04 or newer), install
sudo apt-get install libxi6:i386 libXp6:i386 libXmu6:i386
Copy the installer from R:\ETE\Ele1_8132\ELN\Software\VHDL\HDL-Designer\HDS_2015.2_ixl.exe
to /home/user/Downloads/EDA
Install it:
cd /home/<i>user</i>/Downloads/EDA/ chmod +x HDS_*.exe sudo ./HDS_*.exe
Options:
- Target location:
/usr/opt/HDS
- Product selection: HDL Designer
Add path and license server info:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/opt/HDS/bin export LM_LICENSE_FILE=$LM_LICENSE_FILE:<portNumber>@mentorlm.hevs.ch
- ask Oliver Gubler or Corthay François for the <portNumber>
Update the settings:
sudo nano -w /etc/profile
Add the lines:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # EDA tools # export PATH=$PATH:/usr/opt/HDS/bin export LM_LICENSE_FILE=$LM_LICENSE_FILE:<portNumber>@mentorlm.hevs.ch
- ask Oliver Gubler or Corthay François for the <portNumber>
Add a toolbar menu:
- right-click on
Applications
and chooseEdit Menus
- click on
New Menu
and name itEDA
- click on
EDA
and thenNew Item
:-
Name

-
Command
:/usr/opt/HDS/bin/hdl_designer
-
Icon
:/usr/opt/HDS/resources/bitmaps/hdldesigner.bmp
-
Start the application from the Toolbar menu.
License
To be able to get a license you have to be connected to the school network either way directly by cable, through the school wifi secure-hevs or through VPN.
Add the license server location to your computers environment variables:
