ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition

ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition is a hardware simulation tool developed by Altera Corporation. It is designed for use with Altera FPGA devices and helps users test and debug their designs before implementing them on actual hardware.

With ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition, users can simulate the behavior of their designs using a virtual environment that includes the necessary components and interfaces. The tool provides a range of debugging features, such as waveform viewing, breakpoint setting, and watch variable tracking, that enable users to identify and troubleshoot issues in their designs.

The software also supports the development of testbenches, which are simulation environments that allow users to verify the functionality of their design in different scenarios. Testbenches can include stimulus generators, which generate input signals, and response checkers, which verify the expected output signals.

ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition supports Verilog and VHDL languages and can be integrated with other Altera design tools such as Quartus Prime. The tool is available for free download on Altera's website and is compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems.

ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition provides an intuitive interface and powerful simulation capabilities that help users streamline their development process and achieve optimal design outcomes.
