Neddy,

You are going to need Questa to do anything useful with UVM.

Download the UVM 1.1b package from www.accellera.org.

There is an “examples” directory with lots of examples, from simple to more complete. Look at the makefiles that show how to point to the UVM source directory, so when you compile, it will find the UVM stuff.

i installed QuestaSim 10.0a, i want to compile hello.sv Using the UVM libraries with Questa.
I see Verification Horizons - Siemens Software :

You can easily use these steps:

vlib work
vlog hello.sv
vsim -c hello …

but error :

cd F:/UVM/hello
vlib work
vlog hello.sv

In reply to Neddy:

Which hello.sv file are you tring to compile?

In reply to dave_59:

include "uvm_pkg.sv" module hello_world_example; import uvm_pkg::*; include “uvm_macros.svh”
initial begin
`uvm_info (“info1”,“Hello World”, UVM_LOW);
end
endmodule: hello_world_example

Take out the `include “uvm_pkg.sv” since the UVM is already compiled in Questa

Thank you very much!

Neddy,

It will be difficult to help you with seeing a lot more of the steps you are using to compile and run. And this forum is not really for tool support. Please use Mentor’s support channels.

See if you can update QU version. I use Qu 10.1c on Windows, it works like charm!
