2.3. Parameterizing the External Memory Interface for HPS IP
This section describes launching the EMIF IP for HPS and provides guidance for parameterizing the IP.
To create your EMIF HPS IP, you first launch the Platform Designer and then search for the External Memory Interfaces for HPS IP in the IP Catalog.
To launch the External Memory Interfaces for HPS IP, follow these steps:
- Create a Quartus® Prime project and select an Agilex™ 7 M-Series device.
- Go to the Platform Designer and create a system.
- Click IP catalog > Processors and Peripherals > Hard Processor Components > External Memory Interfaces for HPS IP.
The preceding steps open the External Memory Interfaces for HPS IP parameter editor, where you can set high-level parameters for your interface.
