Launch ModelSim Tab (Run Dialog Box)

You open this tab by clicking the Launch ModelSim tab on the Run dialog box for Nios II

ModelSim configurations.

The Launch ModelSim tab contains general settings about the application project, the

executable code (.elf), and additional settings required for hardware simulation with

ModelSim.

The Launch ModelSim tab contains the following settings.

Project—Specifies the source application project. The Nios II IDE associates each run

configuration with exactly one application project.

Target Hardware— Displays the target SOPC Builder System and CPU for the

selected project. These values are read-only for Nios II C/C++ application projects

and changeable for Nios II user-makefile C/C++ application projects.

ModelSim Path—Displays the location of the ModelSim executable. This display is

read-only. You set the ModelSim path in SOPC Builder by specifying the ModelSim

Directory in the SOPC Builder Setup dialog box found on the SOPC Builder File

menu.
