Quartus Prime Lite Version 20.1.0 testbench

[KILIC]

Hi.

I have a problem generating the test bench, saying testbench_file option contains a non-existent directory path. What can I do?

Copy of the text: Error (199013)

Determining the location of the ModelSim executable...

Using: c:/intelfpga_lite/20.1/modelsim_ase/win32aloem/

To specify a ModelSim executable directory, select: Tools -> Options -> EDA Tool Options
Note: if both ModelSim-Altera and ModelSim executables are available, ModelSim-Altera will be used.

Ahmet,

Can you verify the path of the testbench? Make sure the path name no space all that, alphanumeric type of name.

[KILIC]

Thank you. it worked, the spaces were the problems.

But I have a new Error. What does it mean?->

Hallo again.

I have tried to eliminate all blanks but the error stay. I was suspicious and changed even the computername without a blank but it referes still to the old name, even after deinstalling an installing again.

Here is the Error text :Error (199013):..

Ahmet,

But I have a new Error. What does it mean?->

# ** Error (suppressible): (vsim-12110) The -novopt option has no effect on this product. -novopt option is now deprecated and will be removed in future releases.

It means the option for this command had been removed. Thus the simulator cannot continue the flow as it is unknown command.

Removed the command that should be working.
