QuestaSim, developed by Siemens EDA (formerly Mentor Graphics), is the advanced version of ModelSim. It supports the latest standards in SystemVerilog, VHDL, and Mixed-Signal simulation, offering high-performance verification for complex SoC designs. Why a Portable Approach for Linux?
Identify missing libraries using ldd on the Questa binaries (e.g., ldd vsim ). download questasim for linux portable
To achieve a portable-like behavior on Linux, follow these steps: A. The "Local Folder" Installation Identify missing libraries using ldd on the Questa
Copy necessary .so files into a libs folder within your Questa directory. Use an environment script to point to these libraries. C. Creating an Environment Wrapper Use an environment script to point to these libraries
A "portable" setup allows you to keep the entire toolchain in a single directory or a container, making it easy to share across a team or move between a workstation and a server. 1. Where to Download QuestaSim
