-===== Install Quartus 18.1 on Lubuntu 18.04 LTS =====
+===== Install Quartus 18.1 and Matlab =====
+This description assumes that version 13.0sp1 is already installed on Lubuntu 18.04. The Quartus 18.1 version is used only by the Master Course.
 ==== Download ====
-Download [[https://www.hs-augsburg.de/~beckmanf/restricted/Quartus-lite-18.1.0.625-linux.tar|Quartus-lite-18.1.0.625-linux.tar]] from [[http://fpgasoftware.intel.com/?edition=lite|Intel]]
+Download [[https://www.hs-augsburg.de/~beckmanf/restricted/Quartus-lite-18.1.0.625-linux.tar|Quartus-lite-18.1.0.625-linux.tar]] from [[http://fpgasoftware.intel.com/?edition=lite|Intel]]. You can download with
+<code>
+cd
+cd cae
+wget --user=YOURUSERNAME --ask-password  https://www.hs-augsburg.de/~beckmanf/restricted/Quartus-lite-18.1.0.625-linux.tar
+</code>
 ==== Install ====
+Check that you have
-Make sure that you install the software at "/opt/altera/18.1". Create the altera directory and change the owner to your username.
+  * [[http://www.hs-augsburg.de/homes/beckmanf/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ubuntu_virtual_cae_system#missing_libpng12|Installed the missing libpng12]]
-Replace "fritz:fritz" with your username and group.
+Make sure that you install the software at "/opt/altera/18.1". When you run the installation, you can deselect all FPGA device families, except Cyclone V.
 <code>
-sudo mkdir /opt/altera
+tar -xvf Quartus-lite-18.1.0.625-linux.tar
-sudo chown fritz:fritz /opt/altera
+./setup.sh
 </code>
-When you run the installation, you can deselect all FPGA device families, except Cyclone V.
+Check that you have
+  * [[http://www.hs-augsburg.de/homes/beckmanf/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ubuntu_virtual_cae_system#fix_the_libfreetype_problem|Compiled the libfreetype library]]
+and copy the library to the 18.1 directory
 <code>
-mkdir /tmp/qi
+mkdir /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32
-cd /tmp/qi
+cp ~/cae/freetype-2.8.1/objs/.libs/libfreetype.so* /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32/
-cp <TheQuartusTarFile> .
-tar -xvf Quartus-lite-18.1.0.625-linux.tar
-./setup.sh
 </code>
-==== Setting PATH Variable ====
+Change /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/vco  file and find the location:
-In order to be able to start the binaries from the commandline, the path for the binaries has to be in the PATH environment variable. For that you have to modify the .profile file in your home directory. Append the following snippet to the .profile file:
+<code>
+dir=`dirname "$arg0"`
+</code>
-<code bash .profile>
+After that line add
-# Include the ALTERA fpga software
-PATH="$PATH:/opt/altera/18.1/quartus/bin"
+<code>
-# Include the ALTERA Modelsim VHDL simulator
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32
-PATH="$PATH:/opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/bin"
 </code>
-To see the changes in the PATH variable, you have to logout and login again. After that you can already start modelsim and quartus (see below). To check the setting of the PATH variable do:
+and [[http://www.hs-augsburg.de/homes/beckmanf/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ubuntu_virtual_cae_system#fix_linux_rh60_vco_script_problem|Fix linux rh60 problem]] in that file.
+=== libstdc++ CXXABI_1.3.9 problem ===
+The following problem
+<code>
+/opt/altera/version/quartus/linux64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxy.so.1)
+Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgiolibproxy.so
+</code>
+is due to different libstdc++ versions which have different ABI versions. If you delete
+<code>
+rm /opt/altera/18.1/quartus/linux64/libstdc++.*
+</code>
+then quartus will find the default libstdc++ in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.
+==== Create a version switcher for the PATH variable ====
+You can set the PATH variable as in the 13.0sp1 installation in .profile. If you install two versions, then you can append the following to .bashrc
+<code>
+alias v13="ln -rsvfT /opt/altera/13.0sp1 /opt/altera/version"
+alias v18="ln -rsvfT /opt/altera/18.1 /opt/altera/version"
+</code>
+You need to open a new bash to make the changes active. Then you can switch between the versions by running v18 or v13.
+===== Matlab =====
+==== License and Activation ====
+Students of Hochschule Augsburg can have a [[https://www.hs-augsburg.de/Rechenzentrum/Matlab-TAH-Lizenz.html|license]] but they need to [[https://de.mathworks.com|Create a student account at Mathworks]]. You must use your hs-augsburg.de email address.
+==== Download ====
+Download Matlab version R2018b from https://de.mathworks.com/downloads/web_downloads/
+==== Install ====
+<code>
+cd
+cd cae
+mkdir matlab
+mv ../Downloads/matlab_R2018b_glnxa64.zip matlab
+cd matlab
+unzip matlab_R2018b_glnxa64.zip
+sudo mkdir /opt/matlab
+sudo chown caeuser:caeuser /opt/matlab
+./install
+</code>
+During the installation process you have to login to Mathworks and activate the license. Choose as installation directory:
+<code>
+/opt/matlab/R2018b
+</code>
+Select the following matlab toolboxes
+  * MATLAB 9.5
+  * Simulink 9.2
+  * DSP System Toolbox
+  * Filter Design HDL Coder
+  * Fixed-Point Designer
+  * HDL Coder
+  * MATLAB Coder
+  * Signal Processing Toolbox
+=== PATH ===
-<code bash>
-fritz@vcae:~$ echo $PATH
-/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/altera/18.1/quartus/bin:/opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/bin
-fritz@vcae:~$
-</code>
-You can see that the altera directories are now part of the PATH variable.
