2.2.2.4. Step 4: Create a Tile Plan

Click Plan Design on the Flow control to interactively place component IP in legal locations on device tiles. The Plan tab displays a hierarchical list of your project component IP design elements, alongside a graphical abstraction of the target device tile architecture. Place IP (and IP building blocks) in legal tile locations within the graphical tile floorplan.

Recommended Two-Stage Tile IP Placement

Handle IP tile placement in two stages for the most efficiency:

Table 17.  Two-Stage Tile IP Placement
Tile IP Placement Description
Stage 1
  • Place all of the IPs targeting the same tile to ensure that all IP can be placed within the tile, as Placing IP Components describes.
  • Fill each tile with the desired IP, before refining any IP building block placement for any specific placement requirements you may have for a particular building block.
Stage 2
  • Review the placement of IP building blocks.
  • Refine any building block placement to meet any specific placement requirements, as Constraining IP Building Blocks describes.
Note: Changes made in Tile Interface Planner do not apply to your Intel® Quartus® Prime project until you apply the generated tile interface plan constraints to your project, as Step 5: Save Tile Plan Assignments describes.
