Setting Up the Precision RTL Synthesis Working Environment

To set up the Precision RTL Synthesis working environment:

  1. Make sure you have installed the following versions of the Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software and the Precision RTL Synthesis software:

    Mentor Graphics

    Altera

    Precision RTL Synthesis version 2012

    Quartus® Prime Standard Edition version 13.0

    The Precision RTL Synthesis software supports all Altera devices supported by the Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software.

    Note: The Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software Release Notes are available on the Altera website Definition and provide up-to-date information on which versions of Mentor Graphics applications the current version of the Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software supports. The Quartus® Prime Standard Editionreadme.txt file provides information on installation and operating requirements. You should read the Release Notes and readme.txt file before installing the Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software. After installation, you can open the Release Notes and readme.txt file from the Quartus® Prime Standard EditionHelp menu.

    Refer to "Altera Software File Organization" in the Altera SoftwareInstallation and Licensing manual for more information on installation and details on the directories that are created during Quartus® Prime Standard Edition installation.

    Note: The information presented here assumes that you are using a C shell and that your Quartus® Prime Standard Edition system directory is /usr/quartus. If not, you must use the appropriate syntax and procedures to set environment variables for your shell.
  2. To run an EDA design entry/synthesis, simulation, or timing analysis tool automatically from the Quartus® Prime Standard Edition software using the NativeLink feature, you must specify the location of executable files for third-party EDA tools by clicking Options on the Tools menu, and then clicking EDA Tool Options.
  3. To continue with Precision RTL Synthesis design flow, proceed to Creating a Design for Use with the Precision RTL Synthesis Software.
