TB_CRC_FWD Boolean

Enable CRC Forwarding. When selected, CRC
is passed transparently from the Transmit Client
Interface to line and, is preserved on the
Received Client Interface.

False

3.7 Design Implementation with Quartus II

Two TCL script (quartus.tcl) is provided in the design kit directory quartus, which performs
the following actions:

1. Create

project

2. Build

database

3. Set timing constraints

4. Set I/O Fast Register constraint on fast I/O signals

5. Run

Quartus

fitter

6. Reports design timing and timing violations

7. Generates VHO VHDL gate level netlist and SDO timing file used during Gate level

simulation

The TCL script can run from the Quartus II graphical interface or in batch mode.

• Graphical

Mode:

1. In Quartus II TCL console Change to Quartus working directory

cd <Design Kit Root>/quartus

2.

Run the design TCL script

source quartus.tcl

3.8 VQM Netlist Generation

After you obtain a core license from Altera, a VQM netlist of the Core can be generated with the
Quartus II software. The VQM netlist can be used to integrate the Core in a customer design.

To create the VQM netlist:

1. Analyze and Synthesize the Core

2. Generate the VQM Netlist
