Running HPS Post-Fit Simulation
The section describes how you run HPS post-fit simulation. After successful Qsys generation, perform the
following steps:
1. Add the Qsys-generated synthesis file set to your Quartus II project by performing the following steps:
• In the Quartus II software, click Settings in the Assignments menu.
• In the Settings
<your Qsys system name>
dialog box, on the Files tab, browse to
<your project directory>/<your Qsys system name>
/synthesis/ and select
<your Qsys system name>
.qip.
• Click OK.
2. You can instantiate the Qsys system that contains HPS component as your Quartus II project top-level
entity, if necessary.
3. Compile the design by clicking Start Compilation in the Processing menu.
4. Change the EDA Netlist Writer settings, if necessary, by performing the following steps:
• Click Settings in the Assignment menu.
• On the Simulation tab, under the EDA Tool Settings tab, you can specify the following EDA Netlist
Writer settings:
• Tool name—The name of the simulation tool
• Format for output netlist
• Output directory
• Click OK.
