” on page 18 for details.

This example shows you how to use the Qsys tool in Quartus II software to create a top-level
design environment. You will use the ex1_back_to_back_sv, a SystemVerilog example from the
$QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/../ip/altera/mentor_vip_ae/axi4lite/qsys-examples directory in the
Altera Complete Design Suite (ACDS) installation.

You will do the following tasks to set up the design environment:

1. Create a work directory.

2. Copy the example to the work directory.

3. Invoke Qsys from the Quartus II software Tools menu.

4. Generate a top-level netlist.

5. Run simulation by referencing the README text file and command scripts for your

simulation environment.

Setting Up Simulation from a UNIX Platform

The following steps outline how to set up the simulation environment from a UNIX platform.

1. Create a work directory into which you copy the example directory qsys-examples,

which contains the directory ex1_back_to_back_sv from the Installation.

a. Using the mkdir command, create the work directory into which you will copy the

qsys-examples directory.

mkdir axi4lite-qsys-examples

b. Using the cp command, copy the qsys-examples directory from the Installation

directory into your work directory.

cp -r $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/../ip/altera/mentor_vip_ae/axi4lite/\

qsys-examples/* axi4lite-qsys-examples/
