8.2. Running Platform Designer (Standard)

This section provides instructions to create and generate your own Platform Designer (Standard) system for the design example. The instructions teach you the process to create a Platform Designer (Standard) system.

If you prefer to run the design example without performing the steps to create your own Platform Designer (Standard) system, you can use the Platform Designer (Standard) system file (.qsys) provided in the design example directory.

To run Platform Designer (Standard) to generate your system, whether from your own .qsys file or the design example installation .qsys file, perform the following steps:

  1. In the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, on the Tools menu, click Platform Designer (Standard) .
  2. To use the Platform Designer (Standard) system provided with your Intel® Quartus® Prime installation in <Quartus Prime_install_dir>, perform the following steps:
    1. Copy the file <Quartus Prime_install_dir> \ip\altera\rapidio\lib\rio\qsys_cust_demo\rio_sys.qsys to your Intel® Quartus® Prime project directory.
    2. In Platform Designer (Standard), on the File menu, click Open.
    3. Browse to your Intel® Quartus® Prime project directory, if necessary, and click rio_sys.qsys.
    4. Click Open.
    5. Proceed directly to Generating the System and follow the instructions.
  3. To learn how to create a Platform Designer (Standard) system by generating the design example Platform Designer (Standard) system manually, proceed to “Adding and Parameterizing the RapidIO Component” and follow the instructions.
