2.3. Generate Files

You can use the check boxes on the Summary page to enable or disable the generation of specified files. A gray checkmark indicates a file that is automatically generated; other checkmarks indicate optional files.
To generate your parameterized IP core:
  1. Turn on the files you want to generate.
  2. To generate the specified files and close the SerialLite II parameter editor, click Finish. The generation phase can take several minutes to complete.
  3. If you generate the IP core instance in a Quartus Prime project, you are prompted to add the Quartus Prime IP File (.qip) to the current Quartus Prime project.
    The .qip file is generated by the SerialLite II parameter editor and contains information about a generated IP core. In most cases, the .qip file contains all of the necessary assignments and information required to process the IP core or system in the Quartus Prime compiler. The SerialLite II parameter editor generates a single .qip file for each IP core.
    Note: For Arria® V, Cyclone® V, and Stratix® V devices, you must also generate the Custom PHY and reset controller, and then add the transceiver .qip files in. You must manually integrate the transceiver to the SerialLite II IP core, and the reset controller to the transceiver. For Intel® Arria® 10 devices, contact your local Intel representative or file a Service Request (SR).
  4. After your review the generation report, <variation name> .html, in your project directory, click Exit to close the SerialLite II parameter editor.
