2.4.1. Step 1: Specify a Target Board for the Project

To create an Intel® Quartus® Prime project that targets a specific board containing the target FPGA device, follow these steps:
  1. Start the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software.
  2. Click File > New Project Wizard. If the Introduction page appears, click Next.
  3. Under Project Settings, enter pio_led as the working directory, the name of the project, and the top-level design entity.
    Figure 9. New Project Wizard


  4. Click the Board tab below the settings you just specified. The Board tab allows you to target a specific FPGA device board, rather than just a specific FPGA device.
  5. Under Find Options, specify the following filters:
    • Family—select Agilex.
    • Development Kit—select Intel Agilex F-Series FPGA Development Kit DK-DEV-AGF014EA.
    • Vendor—select Intel.
    Figure 10. Board Tab Settings


  6. Click the Intel Agilex F-Series FPGA Development Kit in the list. The board details appear in the right pane.
  7. Click Next. The Add Files page appears.
  8. Next to File name, click browse (…) to add the pio_led.out.sdc, issp.ip, and resetrelease.ip files that support this application note, as Download Supporting Files describes.

  9. Click Next. the EDA page appears. Retain the default settings and click Next again to view the Summary page. The Summary page displays the details of your project based on the board and other options you specified.
  10. When you are done viewing the Summary, click Finish. The PIO_LED project opens in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software.
