Preliminary
2. Getting Started
Design Flow
To evaluate the POS-PHY Level 2 and 3 Compiler using the OpenCore Plus feature
include these steps in your design flow:
1. Obtain and install the POS-PHY Level 2 and 3 Compiler.
The POS-PHY Level 2 and 3 MegaCore function is part of the MegaCore IP
Library, which is distributed with the Quartus
® II software and downloadable
from the Altera ® website, www.altera.com .
f For system requirements and installation instructions, refer to Quartus II
Installation & Licensing for Windows and Linux Workstations .
Figure 2–1 on page 2–1 shows the directory structure after you install the POS-
PHY Level 2 and 3 Compiler, where <path> is the installation directory. The default
installation directory on Windows is c:\altera\90; on Linux it is /opt/altera90.
2. Create a custom variation of a POS-PHY Level 2 or 3 MegaCore function using IP
Toolbench.
1 IP Toolbench is a toolbar from which you can quickly and easily view
documentation, specify parameters, and generate all of the files necessary
for integrating the parameterized MegaCore function into your design.
