Modelsim linux install#

It doesn't matter if you do this with your toolbox container or in your host system. Find the line that contains vco='linux_rh60' and change it to vco='linux'.Find the line that contains mode=$(MTI_VCO_MODE:-'') and change it to mode=$(MTI_VCO_MODE:-'32').Once it is installed, navigate to the bin directory ( ~/intelFPGA_lite/18.1/modelsim_ase/bin) and modify vsim in a text editor (as root, since it is read only). You might want to ensure it's under ~ for easy integration with Toolbox.

Modelsim linux install#

You most likely did this as part of installing Quartus (it is easier to install everything at once, and on Intel's download page you can install a combined archive with the everything you might need included). Next we need to install modelsim somewhere on the system ( ~/intelFPGA_lite/18.1 for example). Note your home directory is mounted here, so while dnf is not directly meddling with your host, files in your home directory are affected by what you do in your toolbox container, so be careful when rm things. In theory it should work however it did not for me, I could not successfully actually make the shared libraries for fontconfig. describes a more complex solution which involves compiling the libraries by hand and hoping you can get the right shared libaries out. This is a simple solution only because we can use containers to workaround modelsim's need for such an old library. This should be done in a container, and not in your base system. We will create a toolbox container where we will install very old libraries needed for modelsim to work. Modelsim relies on some 32-bit libraries that are not all easily avaliable on Fedora 35, this guide will walk you through the different steps needed to get it running.
