8.1. Creating a New Intel® Quartus® Prime Project

You must create a new Intel® Quartus® Prime project. You can create the project with the New Project Wizard, which helps you specify the working directory for the project, assign the project name, and designate the name of the top-level design entity. To create a new project, follow these steps:
  1. On the Windows start menu, click All Programs > Intel® FPGA <version> Standard Edition > Quartus ( Intel® Quartus® Prime <version>) to run the Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software.
  2. On the File menu, click New Project Wizard. If you did not turn it off previously, the New Project Wizard: Introduction page appears.
  3. On the New Project Wizard: Introduction page, click Next.
  4. On the New Project Wizard: Directory, Name, Top-Level Entity page, enter the following information:
    1. Specify the working directory for your project. This directory is also called the Intel® Quartus® Prime project directory. This directory can be any directory to which you have write permission, and the pathname should be free of spaces or special characters.
    2. Specify the name of the project. This design example uses rio_sys. You must specify this name for both the project and the Platform Designer (Standard) system.
    Note: The Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software specifies a top-level design entity that has the same name as the project automatically. Do not change this name.
  5. Click Next to display the Add Files page.
  6. Click Next to display the Family and Device Settings page.
  7. On the Family and Device Settings page, select the following target device family and options:
    1. In the Family list, select Stratix IV (GT/GX/E)
      Note: This design example creates a design targeting the Stratix IV GX device family. You can also use these procedures for other supported device families, after modifying the design example sim.do file appropriately.
    2. In the Target device box, select Auto device selected by the Fitter.
  8. Click Next to display the EDA Tool Settings page.
  9. Click Next to display the Summary page.
  10. Check the Summary page to ensure that you have entered all the information correctly.
  11. Click Finish to complete the Intel® Quartus® Prime project.
