5.6. Step 6: Generate HDL and Run Synthesis

After completing all system changes, follow these steps to save the system and generate HDL for the system.
  1. In Platform Designer, click File > Save and save any system changes.
  2. To generate the HDL for the system, click the Generate HDL button. If during system generation you encounter any errors regarding source file inconsistencies, right-click the instance in the System View, and then click Edit Component Instantiation to ensure that the file hierarchy includes the correct source files.
  3. When HDL generation is complete, close Platform Designer. The generated HDL files for the user_system appear in the Intel Quartus Prime Project Navigator Files tab as part of the project automatically.
