Implementation Type Description
IP The default implementation type for any new component. Platform Designer reads the IP Implementation Type to perform the following functions:
  • Runs background checks against the port widths between the IP component and the .ip file to ensure continuity.
  • Scans the .ip file for the error flag to determine if any component has parameterization errors.
  • Checks for system-info mismatches between the IP file and the IP component in the system, and prompts resolution with IP instantiation warnings in the Instantiation Messages tab.
HDL Allows you to define a component in your system from existing RTL. You can populate the signals and interfaces parameters of the generic component from an RTL file.
Blackbox Defines a component that represents only the signal and interface boundary of an entity, without providing the component's implementation. You then provide the implementation of the component for processing with the Quartus® Prime software or an RTL simulator.
