2. Getting Started
Design Flow
To evaluate the HyperTransport MegaCore function using the OpenCore Plus feature,
include these steps in your design flow:
1. Obtain and install the HyperTransport MegaCore function.
The HyperTransport 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 Altera Software
Installation and Licensing on the Altera website at
www.altera.com/literature/lit-qts.jsp .
Figure 2–1 shows the directory structure after you install the HyperTransport
MegaCore function, where < path > is the installation directory. The default installation
directory on Windows is C:\altera\<version number>; on Linux it is
/opt/altera<
version number>.
2. Create a custom variation of the HyperTransport MegaCore function.
3. Implement the rest of your design using the design entry method of your choice.
4. Use the IP functional simulation model to verify the operation of your design.
f For more information about IP functional simulation models, refer to the Simulating
Altera IP in Third-Party Simulation Tools chapter in volume 3 of the Quartus II Handbook.
5. Use the Quartus II software to compile your design.
