1.2.2.1.8. Saving and Generating System HDL

  1. Save the system.
  2. Click Generate HDL at the bottom right corner of the Platform Designer.
  3. Leave all settings at default, and click Generate.
  4. Ensure that the Nios® V processor hardware system is successfully generated.
    Figure 19. Successful Generation
  5. The Platform Designer generates a folder named niosv_top, which stores the system generation files.
  6. Exit the Platform Designer, and return to the project front page.
