1.3. Generating the Synthesizable EMIF Design Example

For the Intel® Stratix® 10 development kit, it is sufficient to leave most of the Intel® Stratix® 10 EMIF IP settings at their default values. To generate the synthesizable design example, follow these steps:
  1. On the Diagnostics tab, enable the EMIF Debug Toolkit/On-Chip Debug Port and In-System-Sources-and-Probes to provide access to the available debugging features.

  2. On the Example Designs tab, ensure that the Synthesis box is checked.
  3. Configure the EMIF IP and click Generate Example Design in the upper-right corner of the window.

  4. Specify a directory for the EMIF design example and click OK. Successful generation of the EMIF design example creates the following fileset under a qii directory.

Note:

If you don't select the Simulation or Synthesis checkbox, the destination directory will contain Platform Designer design files, which are not compilable by the Intel® Quartus® Prime software directly, but can be viewed or edited under the Platform Designer. In this situation you can run the following commands to generate synthesis and simulation file sets.

  • To create a compilable project, you must run the quartus_sh -t make_qii_design.tcl script in the destination directory.
  • To create a simulation project, you must run the quartus_sh -t make_sim_design.tcl script in the destination directory.
