Description

the synthesis example design for Platform Designer, and a

make_qii_design.tcl

file with other corresponding tcl

files.
You can run the

make_qii_design.tcl

file from a

command line to generate a synthesis example design. The
generated example design resides in the

/qii

subdirectory.

Tip:

The example design supports generation, simulation, and Intel Quartus Prime

compilation flows for any selected device. To use the example design for simulation,

enable the Simulation parameter. To use the example design for compilation and

hardware, enable the Synthesis parameter.

Description

Simulation HDL format

Specifies the HDL format of the example design file set that

you want to generate.

3.6 Generating the Example Design

After you finish parameterizing your IP, you can generate the HBM2 example design.

1. On the Example Designs tab, select Simulation/Synthesis in the Example

Design Files group box. (Timing closure is not supported in the 17.1 release.)

2. On the Example Designs tab, select Verilog in the Generated HDL Format

group box.

3. To generate the example design, press the Generate Example Design button, at

the top-right of the parameter editor.

4. When prompted, specify a location at which to save the generated example design

file set.

5. Press OK to begin generating the example design file set.

Upon successful generation of the example design, the system creates file sets to

support both synthesis and simulation of the HBM2 IP. The

hbm_0_example_design/sim/ed_sim

directory, contains file sets for the supported

simulators and for the Intel Quartus Prime project.

The generated file hierarchy includes:
•

IP - all the generated .ip files, based on the relevant parameters set in the

paramter editor.

•

SIM - all the files required to simulate the HBM2 IP for the example design. These

files include the modifiable traffic generator design, the abstract representation of

the hardened HBM2 controller and universal interface block (UIB), and a generic

model of the HBM2 DRAM for simulation.

•

qii - includes all the files required to compile the HBM2 IP example design in the

Intel Quartus Prime software version 17.1. Timing closure will be supported in a

future release.
