ModelSim-Altera (Quartus II 9.1) Starter Edition 9.1

ModelSim-Altera (Quartus II 9.1) Starter Edition by Model Technology is a feature-limited HDL simulation environment tailored for Altera FPGA and CPLD design flows. Bundled with Quartus II 9.1, it provides an integrated path from design entry to functional and timing verification, making it a practical choice for students, hobbyists, and engineers working on smaller projects or learning digital design.

Key features:

• VHDL and Verilog event-driven simulation with mixed-language support
• Tight integration with Quartus II 9.1 for library mapping, netlist simulation, and SDF back-annotation
• Waveform viewing, breakpoints, signal forcing, and interactive console for efficient debugging
• Support for automated testbenches, scripts (DO files), and batch runs to accelerate verification
• Precompiled vendor libraries for Altera IP and device models to streamline setup

Typical uses:

• Functional verification of RTL for Altera FPGA/CPLD designs
• Post-synthesis and post-fit timing simulation using Quartus-generated netlists
• Educational labs and prototyping where an accessible, integrated simulator is preferred

Notes:

• The Starter Edition has capacity and performance limitations compared to the full ModelSim editions.
• Intended primarily for use within the Quartus II 9.1 toolchain and Altera device workflows.
• This is an older release; compatibility aligns with the Quartus II 9.1 generation of tools and devices.
