3.1. FPGA-to-PCB Design Flow
You can create a design flow integrating an Intel FPGA design from the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, and a circuit schematic in the DxDesigner software.
Figure 28. Design Flow with and Without the I/O Designer Software
Note: The Intel® Quartus® Prime software generates the .fx in the output directory you specify in the Board-Level page of the Settings dialog box. However, the Intel® Quartus® Prime software and the I/O Designer software can import pin assignments from an .fx located in any directory. Use a backup .fx to prevent overwriting existing assignments or importing invalid assignments.
To integrate the I/O Designer into your design flow, follow these steps:
- In the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, click Assignments > Settings > EDA Tool Settings > Board-Level to specify settings for .fx symbol file generation.
- Compile your design to generate the .fx and Pin-Out File (.pin) in the Intel® Quartus® Prime project directory.
- Create a board design with the DxDesigner software and the I/O Designer software by performing the following steps:
- Create a new I/O Designer database based on the .fx and the .pin files.
- In the I/O Designer software, make adjustments to signal and pin assignments.
- Regenerate the .fx in the I/O Designer software to export the I/O Designer software changes to the Intel® Quartus® Prime software.
- Generate a single or fractured symbol for use in the DxDesigner software.
- Add the symbol to the sym directory of a DxDesigner project, or specify a new DxDesigner project with the new symbol.
- Instantiate the symbol in your DxDesigner schematic and export the design to the board layout tool.
- Back-annotate pin changes created in the board layout tool to the DxDesigner software and back to the I/O Designer software and the Intel® Quartus® Prime software.
- Create a board design with the DxDesigner software without the I/O Designer software by performing the following steps:
- Create a new DxBoardLink symbol with the Symbol wizard and reference the .pin from the Intel® Quartus® Prime software in an existing DxDesigner project.
- Instantiate the symbol in your DxDesigner schematic and export the design to a board layout tool.
Note: You can update these symbols with design changes with or without the I/O Designer software. If you use the Mentor Graphics* I/O Designer software and you change symbols with the DxDesigner software, you must reimport the symbols into I/O Designer to avoid overwriting your symbol changes.
