1.16.2. Specifying the Generation ID

You can specify the Generation ID to uniquely identify that specific system generation number. This parameter allows system tools, such as Nios® II processor, Nios® V processor, or HPS (Hard Processor System) tools, to verify software-build compatibility with a specific Platform Designer system.

The Generation ID parameter is a unique integer value that derives from the timestamp during Platform Designer system generation. You can optionally modify this value to a value of your choosing to identify the system.

To specify the Generation ID parameter:

  1. In the Hierarchy tab, select the top-level system.
  2. Click View > Parameters.
  3. Under System Identifier, view or edit the value of Generation ID.
