8.2.4. Generating the System

After you create your system with all the required components and connections and you have resolved any errors, generate the system by following these steps:
  1. Select the Generate HDL option.
  2. For Create HDL design files for synthesis, select None. This Platform Designer (Standard) system cannot run on hardware.
  3. For Create simulation model, select Verilog.
  4. Turn off Create block symbol file (.bsf) to expedite the generation process.
  5. Click Generate to start the generation process.
    Note: If you are prompted to save your changes to rio_sys.qsys, click Save.

    Generating the system files, the simulation models, and the environment takes a few minutes.

    When the Platform Designer (Standard) system is generated successfully, the system HDL files are added to your project directory and are ready to be simulated with the Intel® Quartus® Prime software.

  6. After generation completes successfully, click Exit to close Platform Designer (Standard).
    Note: Although this design example requires the Verilog HDL target output, you can alternatively select VHDL for a project of your own.
