Note: Software directory is created multiple times depending on Hard IP mode selected (1x16, 2x8 or 4x4) for Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition 23.3 version onwards.
  • p0_software folder is generated for 1x16, 2x8 and 4x4 Hard IP modes.
  • p1_software folder is generated for 2x8 Hard IP modes.
  • p2_software and p3_software folders are generated for 4x4 Hard IP modes.
Note: You must use the corresponding software folder with each IP port.
