6.8. F-tile Interface Planning

The decomposable Intel® Agilex™ F-tile architecture prompts a new tile planning step for PHY layer implementation. This step allows you to place component IP in specific device tiles to reflect your board or system level constraints. The Intel® Quartus® Prime Tile Interface Planner simplifies placement of component IP in legal tile locations.

Tile Interface Planner displays your design's component IP in a hierarchical view, next to a visual display of the device tile fractures. You locate legal tile locations, place the IP, and save the placement constraints for downstream Compiler stages. The legality engine verifies placement in real-time to ensure correlation in final implementation.
