    • Device part—when defining a new project or None, allows you to specify the target Intel® FPGA device part number. Otherwise this field is non-editable and displays the Quartus project target device part number.
  4. Specify the IP variant name, or browse for an existing IP variant.
  5. For Component type, click Select and select the IP component from the IP Catalog.
  6. Click Create. The IP parameter editor appears. Specify the parameter values that you want for the IP variant.
  7. To generate the IP variant synthesis and optional simulation files, click Generate HDL, specify Generation Options, and click Generate. Refer to Generation Dialog Box Options for generation options.
