Specifying Output Directories
To generate the Qsys system, follow these steps:
1. On the
Generation
tab, in the
Simulation
section, set the following options:
■
For
Create simulation model
, select
Verilog
.
■
For
Create testbench Qsys system
, select
Standard, BFMs for standard
Avalon interfaces
.
■
For
Create testbench simulation model
, select
Verilog
.
2. In the
Synthesis
section, turn on
Create HDL design files for synthesis
.
3. Click the
Generate
button at the bottom of the tab.
4. After Qsys reports
Generate Completed
in the
Generate
progress box title, click
Close
.
5. On the
File
menu, click
Save
. and type the file name
s5_mm.qsys
.
Table 3–14
lists the directories that are generated in your Quartus II project directory.

Note that Qsys automatically specifies subdirectories for Verilog Simulation and
synthesis.
Simulating the Qsys System
To simulate the example design you can include the simulation model in your own
testbench.
Understanding Channel Placement Guidelines
Stratix V transceivers are organized in banks of six channels. The transceiver bank
boundaries are important for clocking resources, bonding channels, and fitting. Refer
to the channel placement figures following
“Serial Interface Signals” on page 6–54
for
illustrations of channel placement for ×1, ×4, and ×8 variants using both CMU and
ATX PLLs.
For more information about transceiver clocking and channel placement refer to
“Transceiver Clocking and Channel Placement Guidelines” in
Configurations in Stratix V Devices
