The DSP Builder software license included with the DSP
Development Kit, Stratix Edition
and the DSP Development Kit,
Stratix Professional Edition

DSP Builder launches the LeonardoSpectrum, Synplify Pro, or
Quartus II software by retrieving the software’s path
information from your PC’s registry file. If you have installed
multiple versions of these software products, the registry may
not point to the version you want to use with DSP Builder. In
DSP Builder you can specify a path to use other than the registry
setting for each of the tools.

f

For information on specifying the paths, see the Specifying Precision RTL
Synthesis, LeonardoSpectrum, Synplify & Quartus II Path Information for
SignalCompiler
section in the Troubleshooting chapter in the DSP Builder
User Guide
.

When you have finished installing DSP Builder, view DSP Builder
libraries in the MATLAB software by performing the remaining steps.

VHDL for synthesis, Quartus II compilation, and RTL simulation.
