Hi,

I recently made a post asking for advice on using alternatives to ModelSim with Quartus 17.1 because I wasn't able to get ModelSim working on Ubuntu 22, despite following various guides targeting Ubuntu 16/18.

I've since managed to get Quartus, ModelSim and the help files installed and working. Because it was a bit of a pain and I couldn't find a single set of working instructions for all three together, I've written up the process here.

Hopefully this will be helpful to anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

Thanks.

Could be a decent candidate for a snap.

I'm on fedora 37, and i have a quartus_setup() function in my .zshrc (should also work with bash):

Code: Select all

function quartus_setup
{
        VERSION=$1

    if [ -z "$VERSION" ]; then
            echo "missing version, reset"
            unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
            unset QUARTUS_ROOTDIR
            export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
            return
    fi

    if [ "$VERSION" = "list" ]; then
            ls -l  /home/svens/altera/
            return
    fi

    if [ ! -d "/home/svens/altera/$VERSION" ]; then
            echo "Version doesn't exist"
            return
    fi
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/svens/altera/$VERSION/quartus/linux64/
    export QUARTUS_ROOTDIR=/home/svens/altera/$VERSION/quartus
    export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/linux64
}

my /home/svens/altera looks like:

Code: Select all

➜  ~ $ ls -l ~/altera 
total 32
drwxr-xr-x  3 svens svens 4096 Mar 12  2018 13.0sp1
drwxr-xr-x  7 svens svens 4096 Dec 29 08:55 13.1
drwxr-xr-x  9 svens svens 4096 Dec 29 08:55 17.0
drwxr-xr-x  9 svens svens 4096 Sep 26  2020 17.0std
drwxr-xr-x  9 svens svens 4096 Sep 10  2020 17.1
drwxr-xr-x  9 svens svens 4096 Dec 29 08:56 20.1
drwxr-xr-x 11 root  root  4096 Sep 26  2020 20.2pro
drwxr-xr-x 10 svens svens 4096 Dec 29 08:54 22.1

so with a simple 'quartus_setup <version>' i can switch between quartus versions.
