How do I simulate an Altera library of paramameterized (LPM) memory requiring an initialization file in the ModelSim Altera Edition? - How do I simulate an Altera library of paramameterized (LPM) memory requiring an initialization file in the ModelSim Altera Edition? Description The ModelSim tool does not support the memory initialization file ( .mif ) format and requires you to generate a .hex file as specified in 1430.html . Once you have the initial memory contents specified in the .hex format, please note the following: If you are simulating in a VHDL environment, the ModelSim tool will automatically reference the .hex file you have created and no additional steps are required. If you are simulating in a Verilog environment, the ModelSim tool requires an additional .dll file that is included with the Quartus II software. To use this .dll file, please take the following steps: Open the modelsim.in i file (Make sure to open the copy that the ModelSim tool is currently using. If you have a modelsim.ini in your project directory, that file will be used.) Search for the following lines: ; List of dynamically loaded objects for Verilog PLI applications ; Veriuser = veriuser.sl Remove the semicolon (;) from the "Veriuser" line and point to the location of the .dll file as follows: Veriuser = \eda\mentor\modelsim\convert_hex2ver.dll Save the changes, close the . INI file and re-start the ModelSim tool. Note : if you are unable to save the changes, please make sure to change the permissions on the modelsim.ini file from the Properties menu.
