===== 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]]. 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 

  * [[http://www.hs-augsburg.de/homes/beckmanf/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ubuntu_virtual_cae_system#missing_libpng12|Installed the missing libpng12]]

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>
tar -xvf Quartus-lite-18.1.0.625-linux.tar
./setup.sh
</code>

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 /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32
cp ~/cae/freetype-2.8.1/objs/.libs/libfreetype.so* /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32/
</code>

Change /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/vco  file and find the location:

<code>
dir=`dirname "$arg0"`
</code>

After that line add

<code>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32
</code>

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
