1.7.2.3. Connecting the Avalon® -ST Adapter Component's Exported Signals in the Top-Level Platform Designer System

After adding the Avalon® -ST Adapter component to kernel_system.qsys, connect the component's exported signals by generating HDL.
  1. Save the kernel_system.qsys system.
  2. Click Close.
  3. From the Generate menu in Platform Designer, select Generate HDL. Alternatively, click Generate HDL in the lower right corner of the Platform Designer window.
  4. Click Generate.
  5. Click Close when HDL generation is completed. Ignore any warnings that might appear.
