Does Questasim 2023.3 starter version support UVM?

Greetings to all Qsim Intel FPGA starter users, 

 

I use that version for UVM interview preparation. And I tried to compile the uvm-UVM_1_2_RELEASE/distrib/examples/integrated/codec and run the example however it requires svverification license with no debug message. 

The error is as follows, I would like to check whether it's practical to use this tool for my study? 

 

Thank you!

Hi,


Probably this previous post https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-FPGA-Software-Installation/vsim-exe-System-Error/td-p/1320072 can help you out.


From what I get from database, I believe the following constructs require svverification license:

  • randomize
  • randcase
  • randsequence

specifying vsim -nocvg will turn off all coverage features.


Thanks,

Sheng

Hi Sheng, 

I managed to make a simulation work by the -nocvg and replacing the randomize() with own $random statements. 

As I use it for learning only, that is good for me. 

 

Thank you.
