To use the Quartus II software with Synopsys VCS MX software, you must first install the Quartus II software, and then establish an environment that facilitates entering and processing designs. The Quartus II/VCS MX interface is installed automatically when you install the Quartus II software. Refer to the Installation & Licensing for UNIX and Linux Workstations manual for more information on installing the software and the directories that created during the Quartus II software installation. One of the directories created during the Quartus II software installation is /quartus/eda/sim_lib, which contains the VHDL functional simulation libraries and timing simulation libraries for Quartus II primitives.
Make sure you have installed the following versions of the Quartus II software and the VCS MX software:
Synopsys
Altera
VCS MX version
Y-2006.06-SP1
Quartus II
version 8.0
This version of the VCS MX software supports all Altera devices supported by the Quartus II software.
Note: The Quartus II Software Release Notes are available on the Altera website and provide up-to-date information on which versions of Synopsys software applications the current version of the Quartus II software supports. The Quartus II readme.txt file provides information on installation and operating requirements. You should read the Release Notes and readme.txt file before installing the Quartus II software. After installation, you can open the Release Notes and readme.txt file from the Quartus II Help menu.
