2.1. Specifying Parameters and Options

Follow these steps to specify the SmartVID controller parameters and options.
  1. Create a Quartus® Prime project using the New Project Wizard available from the File menu.
  2. To enable the SmartVID operation, select an Arria 10 device with VID capability (with OPN –V).
    Contact Intel to obtain access to the Arria 10 device with–V power option.
  3. On the Tools menu, click IP Catalog.
  4. Under Installed IP, double-click Library > Low Power > SmartVID Controller IP.
    The parameter editor appears.
  5. Specify a top-level name for your custom IP variation. This name identifies the IP core variation files in your project. If prompted, also specify the targeted Intel device family and output file HDL preference. Click OK.
  6. Specify parameters and options in the SmartVID Controller parameter editor:
    • Specify parameters defining the IP core functionality and device-specific features.
    • Specify options for processing the IP core files in other EDA tools.
  7. Click Generate to generate the IP core and supporting files, including simulation models.
  8. Click Close when file generation completes.
  9. Click Finish.
  10. If you generate the SmartVID Controller instance in a Quartus® Prime project, you are prompted to add Quartus® Prime IP File (.qip) and Quartus® Prime Simulation IP File (.sip) to the current Quartus® Prime project.
