1.3. Generating Tile Files

The Support-Logic Generation is a pre-synthesis step used to generate tile-related files required for simulation and hardware design. The tile generation is required for all F-tile based design simulations. You must complete this step before simulation.

Starting with Intel® Quartus® Prime software version 21.4, the Support-Logic Generation command is run automatically when you generate your design using F-Tile Ethernet Intel FPGA Hard IP Parameter Editor.

Otherwise, use GUI or command prompt window to perform the tile generation.
  • Using Graphical User Interface:
    1. In the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition, navigate to the Compilation Dashboard window for your project overview.
    2. Click Support-Logic Generation.
  • Using command prompt window:
    1. At the command prompt, navigate to the hardware_test_design folder in your example design:
      cd <your_design_path>/hardware_test_design
    2. If you enabled auto-negotiation and link training, you must specify the pin assignments. Append the eth_f_hw.qsf file with the recommended pin location assignments described in QSF Assignments.
      Note: This step is required only when you enabled the AN/LT feature in the F-Tile Ethernet Intel FPGA Hard IP and instantiated the F-Tile Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP.
    3. Run the following command:
      quartus_tlg eth_f_hw

This step generates eth_f_hw_tiles files. The generated files are located in the <your_design>/hardware_test_design directory and contain the full netlist for simulation and synthesis.
