Implementation Type
Allows you to specify how you want to link the implementation to your IP component.
Implementation Type | Description |
---|---|
IP | The default implementation type that defines the component in
_hw.tcl and preserves the component as a
.ip file. Platform Designer automatically manages components with the Implementation Type of IP in the following ways:
|
HDL | Defines a generic component from existing RTL. You can load the signals, interfaces, and parameters of the generic component from the HDL file containing the RTL. The HDL parameters are represented as constants local to a module, which you can redefine when instantiating the module. Generic HDL components have no .ip file. |
Blackbox | Defines a generic component that represents only the signal and interface boundary of an entity, without providing the component's implementation. You then provide the implementation of the component for processing with the Intel® Quartus® Prime software or an RTL simulator. Generic blackbox components have no .ip file. |
HLS | Defines a generic component from existing high level synthesis (HLS) files. You compile the HLS file, import a previously compiled HLS file, perform verification on an HLS project, or display the resulting compilation report. Available only on Windows* edition. |
