Additionally, the System Explorer also displays custom toolkit groups and links that you create. System Explorer organizes the interactive instances according to the available device connections. The System Explorer contains a Links instance, and may contain a Files instance. The Links instance shows debug agents (and other hardware) that System Console can access. The Files instance contains information about the programming files loaded from the Intel® Quartus® Prime project for the device.

The System Explorer provides the following information:

  • Devices—displays information about all devices connected to the System Console.
  • Scripts—stores scripts for easy execution.
  • Connections—displays information about the board connections visible to System Console, such as the Intel® FPGA Download Cable. Multiple connections are possible.
  • Designs—displays information about Intel® Quartus® Prime designs connected to System Console. Each design represents a loaded .sof file.
