2.2. The Project Directory

The project directory ( <result>.prj) that the Intel® HLS Compiler Standard Edition outputs has four subdirectories.
Table 2.  Subdirectories within the .prj Directory
Directory Description
components Contains a folder for each component, and all HDL and IP files that are needed to use that component in a design.
verification Contains all the files for the verification testbench.
reports Contains reports with information that is useful for analyzing the hardware implementation of the synthesized components.
quartus Contains an Intel® Quartus® Prime project that instantiates the components. You can compile this Intel® Quartus® Prime project to generate more detailed timing and area reports.

Do not use the contents of this subdirectory to integrate your component in a design. Use the contents of the components directory.
