Questa on IFIs Linux machines

In order to run Questa on Linux, add the following to your ~/.bashrc file:

export LM_LICENSE_FILE=5370@lisens.ifi.uio.no
export PATH=$PATH:/projects/nanus/eda/Mentor/2017_2018/Questa/questasim/bin
export MODELSIM=/uio/kant/ifi-project06/robin/CADlib/modelsimCADLIB.ini

The latter will be sourced on login. You may now run vsim in the terminal to open Questa sim.

Questa on IFIs Windows machines

Due to technical issues, you will receive the following error when creating a new project in Questa on M:/:

># Project file M:/inf3430/my_first_project.mpf is not readable.
># Unable to open project.

We are sorry to inform that there are no current solutions to this problem. However, you may use the following workarounds:

  1. Save projects in C:\users\<username>. Be ware that no backups are run on C:\ and the files will only be stored locally. However, you may:
    1. Copy files from C:\users\<username> to your M:\ disk before loging out.
    2. Use version-control like git on your project. See github.uio.no.
    3. Set up dropbox on the machine.
  2. Run X-Win64 and use Questa Sim on Linux.

If you have any problems, please notify your teaching assistant or ROBIN engineer
