Generating Quartus II Synthesis Files
1. On the Generate menu, select Generate HDL.
2. For Create HDL design files for synthesis, select Verilog.
You can leave the default settings for all other items.
3. Click Generate to generate files for Quartus II synthesis.
4. Click Finish when the generation completes.
Understanding the Files Generated
Table 2-2: Overview of Qsys Generation Output Files
Directory Description
<testbench_dir>/<variant_name>/synthesis Includes the top-level HDL file for the Hard IP for
PCI Express and the .qip file that lists all of the
necessary assignments and information required to
process the IP core in the Quartus II compiler.
Generally, a single .qip file is generated for each IP
core.
<testbench_dir>/<variant_name>/synthesis/submodules Includes the HDL files necessary for Quartus II
synthesis.
<testbench_dir>/<variant_name>/testbench Includes testbench subdirectories for the Aldec,
Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor simulation tools
with the required libraries and simulation scripts.
<testbench_dir>/<variant_name>/testbench<cad_
vendor> Includes the HDL source files and scripts for the
simulation testbench.
For a more detailed listing of the directories and files the Quartus II software generates, refer to Files
Generated for Altera IP Cores in Compiling the Design in the Qsys Design Flow.
Understanding Physical Placement of the PCIe IP Core
For more information about physical placement of the PCIe blocks, refer to the links below. Contact your
Altera sales representative for detailed information about channel and PLL usage.

Compiling the Design in the Quartus II Software
To compile the Qsys design example in the Quartus II software, you must create a Quartus II project and
add your Qsys files to that project.
