1.1. Directory Structure

The Intel® Quartus® Prime software generates the design example files in the following folders:

  • <user_defined_design_example_directory>/ed_sim
  • <user_defined_design_example_directory>/ed_synth
  • <user_defined_design_example_directory>/ed_hwtest

The following diagrams show the directories that contain the generated files for the design examples.
