Adding Files to your Quartus II Project
To complete your design example, you must add the wrapper file to your project. To
ensure the project configures and runs correctly on hardware, your project also
requires FPGA pin assignments and timing constraints for the top-level signals.
Altera provides a Synopsys Design Constraints File (.sdc) and a Tcl file (.tcl) that
include these assignments for an EP4SGX230KF40C2 device. In addition, you must
include the altgxb_reconfig and GPLL files. You can generate these two files by
creating an altgxb_reconfig instance and a GPLL instance in the parameter editor, or
you can use the Altera-provided Verilog HDL files that are already generated with the
correct names to connect with the Altera-provided wrapper file.
To add the files to your Quartus II project, follow these steps:
1. Copy the following files from <installation_directory>/ip/altera/altera_pcie/
altera_pcie_avmm/example_designs/s4gx_gen1x8 to your project directory:
■ altgxb_reconfig.v
■ gpll.v
■ s4gx_gen1x8_qsys_top.sdc
■ s4gx_gen1x8_qsys_top.tcl
■ s4gx_gen1x8_qsys_top.v
2. In the Quartus II software, open the s4gx_gen1x8_qsys_top.qpf project in which
you generated your design example Qsys system.
3. On the Assignments menu, click Settings.
4. In the Category panel, click Files.
5. Browse to each of the following files in the Quartus II project directory and click
Add :
■ altgxb_reconfig.v
■ gpll.v
■ s4gx_gen1x8_qsys_top.sdc
■ s4gx_gen1x8_qsys_top.tcl
■ s4gx_gen1x8_qsys_top.v
■ hip_s4gx_gen1x8_qsys/synthesis/hip_s4gx_gen1x8_qsys.qip
■ hip_s4gx_gen1x8_qsys/synthesis/submodules/altera_pci_express.sdc
6. Click Apply.
7. To confirm that the wrapper file is added to your project, follow these steps:
a. In the Quartus II software, in the Project Navigator panel, click the
s4gx_en1x8_qsys_top entity. Verilog HDL code displays in the Quartus II text
editor.
b. Open the s4gx_gen1x8_qsys_top.v file in a text editor.
c. Confirm that the code in the Quartus II text editor is the code in the
s4gx_gen1x8_qsys_top.v file.
