2.5.3.2. Generating Presets for Existing Systems with Multiple Instances

Note: Before using this flow, you must regenerate the Platform Designer system and run Intel® Quartus® Prime Analysis and Synthesis.

When generating presets for existing Platform Designer systems with two or more separate instances, Platform Designer displays a prompt allowing you to select the relevant instance for the presets.

To generate presets for existing systems with multiple instances, follow these steps:

  1. In Platform Designer, open the target system for application of system preset files.
  2. Click File > Load Pin from Quartus Project.
  3. If the system contains more than one instance, select the appropriate instance path and click OK to confirm the correct instance path in the dialog box that appears.
    Figure 16. Select the Instance Path


    The pin assignments from the current Intel® Quartus® Prime project load into the Platform Designer system.
    Note: You must match the Platform Designer system signal names with the top-level project signals for the pin info to be recognized and loaded. Not matching these signals can cause failure to load the pin information.
  4. Confirm the loaded pin assignments in the Exported Interface tab, as Editing Pin Assignments for Presets describes.
  5. Define a new board and presets by clicking New in the Platform Designer Board Catalog. The Create New Board dialog box opens.
  6. Specify options for the new board file, as Creating a New Board File describes. When specifying options, turn on the Enable Board Generation and Enable System Preset Generation to overwrite any existing board or preset files for the system.
  7. Click Save to generate the new board and preset files.
  8. View the new system presets in the Board tab.
