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.

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 Simulation Log File Generation

Starting with the Quartus II 14.0 software release, simulation automatically creates a log file,

altpcie_

monitor_<dev>_dlhip_tlp_file_log.log

in your simulation directory.
