Can I use Modelsim SE 6.0 to simulate the FIFO generated by Quatus 7.2?

[Altera_Forum]

Hi all, 

 According to the Modelsim help, i need to import a precompiled library supplied by FPGA vendor. But I can't find it in the installation directory of Quartus. Where can i find it? Or i must use Modelsim-Altera to solve this problem?   Thanks for any help.

Normally these will be sufficient. 

 C:\altera\72\quartus\eda\sim_lib\altera_mf_components.vhd C:\altera\72\quartus\eda\sim_lib\altera_mf.vhd  They are not precompiled and you will need to compile them into a altera_mf library or map work to altera_mf

Yes, it works. 

thanks.

Hi 

 How would you go about compiling them?? I obviously must be more of a beginner than e.optic :)

Hi, 

 you can do the following: open Modelsim 6.0 ---> Menu"Help" ---> SE PDF Documentation ---> tutotial, then "Lesson 4 - Working with multiple libraries" . This Documentation is really helpful. By the way, even if the simulation results are correct in Modelsim, there are still many synthesis or fitter problems like RAM shortage on chip etc. Then you must rewrite the code despite no logic error. Now I prefer using Quartus directly.
