Platform Designer automatically creates interconnect logic from high-level connectivity that you specify. The interconnect automation eliminates the time-consuming task of specifying system-level HDL connections.
Platform Designer allows you to specify interface requirements and integrate IP components within a graphical representation of the system. The Intel® Quartus® Prime software installation includes the Intel FPGA IP library available from the IP Catalog in Platform Designer.
You can integrate optimized and verified Intel FPGA IP cores into a design to shorten design cycles and maximize performance. Platform Designer also supports integration of IP cores from third-parties, or custom components that you define.
Platform Designer provides support for the following:
- Create and reuse components—define and reuse custom parameterizable components in a Hardware Component Definition File (_hw.tcl) that describes and packages IP components.
- Command-line support—optionally use command-line utilities and scripts to perform functions available in the Platform Designer GUI.
- Up to 64-bit addressing.
- Optimization of interconnect and pipelining within the system and auto-adaptation of data widths and burst characteristics.
- Inter-operation between standard protocols.
