Compiling the Full Design and Programming the FPGA

You can use the Start Compilation command on the Processing menu in the
Quartus II software to compile your design.

The 10- and 20-lane Interlaken MegaCore function variations require fine tuning to
achieve timing closure. Refer to

Appendix C, Closing Timing on 10- and 20-lane

Designs

for a list of steps you can implement to improve timing.

After successfully compiling your design, program the target Altera device with the
Programmer and verify the design in hardware. Programming the device requires
that you have a license for your Interlaken MegaCore function variation. Refer to

“Interlaken MegaCore Function Licenses” on page 1–5
