Xilinx and Modelsim?

Hi, please forgive me for any ignorance in this question, but I am
really lost.

I have tried to get Xilinx ISE Webpack 9.2i to work with modelsim. But
it just doesn't seem to work.

Now I am not very familiar with these programs, I am using them
because I am doing a school course that uses FPGA and they use Xilinx
and Modelsim... I have used them in the labs, but here I am just
having trouble to install them.

I am able to installed Xilinx ISE Webpack 9.2i, but I cannot find
Modelsim in it, so I googled for Modelsim, installed it, but it
doesn't do anything.

I just don't know what's going on or where should I look at... I just
want to install the programs!!

Does anyone have any guides on how to get it install and running on
Linux? (Kernel 2.6)

Thanks.

Hi,

I did not see you write that you had "purchased a license for
ModelSim".  I would not expect ModelSim to do anything until it can
find a valid license.  Whoever you buy the license from should be able
to help you get things going.

May I recommend that you purchase the Xilinx version (ModelsimXE), as
it comes pre-configured to run inside ISE.

Note that there is also modelsimXSE which is free and might be good 
enough for small designs.

Neither of which works under Linux, as far as I know.

The OP probably has to install Windows as a first step, or find the price of
Modelsim SE (or possibly LE, which is crippled to only handle Verilog)

I know that Xilinx works with universities to supply boards, chips,
and software at very low costs to students (speak up Austen).  Perhaps
Modeltech (Modelsim) has a similar program.  Have you talked to your
prof about this?  And even for us non-students, there is a free, but
limited, version of Modelsim that is available from the Xilinx
website.

You can download ModelSim XE from Xilinx website and request the
license key after installing the software. If you do not want to pay
for the license fee, then install free version (Starter Edition).

Another way to get ModelSim is to download from Mentor Graphics
website (http://www.model.com/resources/student_edition/
student_download.asp). They provide free ModelSim PE Student Edition
for academic use. You also need to request the license key.

For simulation within ISE WebPACK environment, you need to set the
simulator preference. From ISE menu, click Edit --> Preferences, ISE
General -> Integrated Tools. Then set the ModelSim simulator path to
ModelSim executable binary, i.e,. C:\Modeltech_xe_starter\win32xoem
\modelsim.exe.

Hope it is helpful.
