Running Qsys
This section provides instructions to create and generate your own Qsys system for
the design example. The instructions teach you the process to create a Qsys system.
If you prefer to run the design example without performing the steps to create your
own Qsys system, you can use the Qsys system file (.qsys) provided in the design
example directory.
To run Qsys to generate your system, whether from your own .qsys file or the design
example installation .qsys file, perform the following steps:
1. In the Quartus II software, on the Tools menu, click Qsys.
2. To use the Qsys system provided with your Quartus II installation in
<QII_install_dir>, perform the following steps:
a. Copy the file
<QII_install_dir>\ip\altera\rapidio\lib\rio\qsys_cust_demo\rio_sys.qsys
to your Quartus II project directory.
b. In Qsys, on the File menu, click Open.
c. Browse to your Quartus II project directory, if necessary, and click rio_sys.qsys.
d. Click Open.
e. Proceed directly to “Generating the System” on page 8–11 and follow the
instructions.
3. To learn how to create a Qsys system by generating the design example Qsys
system manually, proceed to “Adding and Parameterizing the RapidIO
Component” and follow the instructions.
