EDA Simulation Library Compiler Dialog Box

You open this dialog box by clicking Launch EDA Simulation Library Compiler on the Tools menu.

Allows you to quickly set all the necessary options to compile simulation libraries from the Quartus^® Prime Standard Edition GUI.

EDA simulation tool:

Tool name—List of third party EDA tools requiring a defined path.
Executable location—Allows you to specify the location of the executable file for the listed tool.
Current EDA simulation tool—Displays the currently selected EDA simulation tool.

Compilation options:

Library families—Allows you to choose one or more families.
Library language—Allows you to specify VHDL or Verilog HDL.
Note: If the tool only supports one HDL language, the default value is set to the HDL language that is supported by the simulation tool.

Output:

Output directory—Allows you to specify the output directory.
Show all messages—Displays all the simulator-specific information and warning messages issued during the compilation on the Messages tab. The message list does not include tool-specific error messages.
Create log file—Stores all messages, if Show all messages is on, to a default log file name: log-<simulation tool>-<family>-<number count>.

Apply settings to current project:

When you turn on this option, the simulation tool and library language settings are applied to the current project.
