4.7.1. Creating .qsf Assignments

  1. Create discrete IPs using the Platform Designer.
  2. Instantiate these IPs into your design using the appropriate RTL connections.
  3. Run Design Analysis on the design.
  4. Open the Tile Assignment Editor. Click on Intel® Quartus® Prime Menu > Assignments > Tile Assignment Editor.
  5. Click on new DR Group cell and define the properties for your DR group. Enter the attributes and click OK.
    Figure 6. New DR Group Properties
  6. Observe the IPs under the ungrouped IP Instances cell. Right-click on one of the ungrouped IPs and click on the Move IP Instance option.
    Figure 7. Ungrouped IP Instances
  7. Select an appropriate reconfiguration group for the IP and click OK.
    Figure 8. Selecting Reconfiguration Group
  8. Repeat step 6 and 7 for all the remaining ungrouped IPs.
  9. Right-click on reconfiguration group name under the grouped IP Instances cell. Select an IP to use for the Master Clock Channel using the Use master clock channel from: pulldown menu.
    Figure 9. Selecting an IP for Master Clock Channel
  10. Click on the IP under the reconfiguration group name that you want as a startup instance. Select the Is Startup Instance dialog button.
    Figure 10. Option: Startup Instance
  11. Click on Save Tile Assignment Editor.
    Note: The Master Clock Channel and Startup Instance is now defined in the Properties column of the Tile Assignment Editor.
    Figure 11. Properties
  12. Select the Reconfiguration Controller IP that the protocol IP should be associated with using the Reconfig controller pulldown menu.
  13. Click on Save Tile Assignment Editor to write all your newly derived dynamic reconfiguration assignments to your project’s .qsf file.
  14. Open the project’s .qsf file to verify the dynamic reconfiguration assignments.
    Sample: QSF Assignments for basic design with two instances of Multirate IPs.
    set_global_assignment -name IP_RECONFIG_GROUP_TYPE "RG_A:EXCLUSIVE:CLK_MASTER" -entity dr_mr_eth_mr_cpri_same_ux
    set_global_assignment -name IP_RECONFIG_GROUP_PARENT "RG_A:MY_MR_CPRI_INST_1|CPRIPHY_MR_F_0/RG_A" -entity dr_mr_eth_mr_cpri_same_ux
    set_global_assignment -name IP_RECONFIG_GROUP_PARENT "RG_A:MY_MR_ETH_INST_1|ETH_F_DR_0/RG_A" -entity dr_mr_eth_mr_cpri_same_ux
    set_instance_assignment -name IP_RECONFIG_GROUP_STARTUP_INSTANCE OFF -to my_mr_eth_inst_1|eth_f_dr_0 -entity dr_mr_eth_mr_cpri_same_ux
    set_instance_assignment -name IP_COLOCATE F_TILE -from dr_ctrl_inst_1|dr_f_0 -to my_mr_cpri_inst_1|cpriphy_mr_f_0 -entity dr_mr_eth_mr_cpri_same_ux
    set_instance_assignment -name IP_COLOCATE F_TILE -from dr_ctrl_inst_1|dr_f_0 -to my_mr_eth_inst_1|eth_f_dr_0 -entity dr_mr_eth_mr_cpri_same_ux
    set_instance_assignment -name IP_RECONFIG_GROUP_MASTER_CLOCK_CHANNEL OFF -to my_mr_eth_inst_1|eth_f_dr_0 -entity dr_mr_eth_mr_cpri_same_ux
    
The above example illustrating a simple design using only two instances of Multirate IPs. You can use the Tile Assignment Editor to create more complex hierarchical DR groupings for designs which contain both multirate and single rate IPs. The figure below shows the Tile Assignment Editor GUI for such an advanced design:
