2. Reviewing Printed Circuit Board Schematics with the Quartus® Prime Software
Altera FPGAs and CPLDs offer a multitude of configurable options to allow you to implement a custom application-specific circuit on your PCB.
Your Quartus® Prime project provides important information specific to your programmable logic design, which you can use in conjunction with your target device documentation to ensure that you implement the correct board-level connections in your schematic.
Refer to the Settings dialog box options, the Fitter report, and Messages window when creating and reviewing your PCB schematic. The Quartus® Prime software also provides the Pin Planner to assist you during your PCB schematic review process.
