ModelSim Altera Starter Edition - Linux Mint 18.1 version
I'm dealing with digital circuits at university and using this tool to simulate Verilog designs and view waveforms. We're also working with Quartus II to program a Cyclone II C20F484C7 (or similar) FPGA. It functions well on Linux, but without a local board it's not very helpful for me. The main issue is that ModelSim doesn't run properly in isolation, and I'm really struggling to get it to work. I've tried adding 32-bit libraries as required, checked the installation paths and launchers at school, and even made a launcher with VSP running in the terminal, but it just opens a temporary window without doing anything meaningful. My teacher hasn't helped much—she seems unfamiliar with Linux, though our school computers run Mint 17.3. I've looked for tutorials online, but nothing seems to fit. I'm open to suggestions. P.S. I know it's straightforward on Windows, but switching between OSes feels unnecessary now. I have Windows 10 on a separate SSD, but I'm not keen on changing platforms just for one program. All my other school software works fine in Linux, so I'm trying to set up a consistent environment, keeping Windows mainly for gaming.
You ensured compatibility by installing the right adapters for Windows on the virtual machine. Remembered that point?
This setup is completely different from what you intended. I have Windows 10 installed alongside a dual-boot configuration. The idea was to use Windows for gaming and media while keeping Linux for work tasks, with all professional files on one drive. That arrangement still isn't working. It's possible I wasn't clear enough—I'm sure it could be fixed.
I attempted that but got nothing, and because it’s a huge effort for just one program, I’ll switch to using it on Windows temporarily. I needed it urgently, so yes...I’ll test it on Ubuntu later.
