About Using the Precision RTL Synthesis Software with the Quartus^® Prime Software

You can use the Mentor Graphics Precision RTL Synthesis design entry/synthesis tool to create, synthesize, and optimize a project and generate an for compilation in the Quartus^® Prime software. You can also launch the Quartus^® Prime software directly from the Precision RTL Synthesis software. The following topics describe the typical flow with the Precision RTL Synthesis software and the Quartus^® Prime software:

1. Set up the Precision RTL Synthesis working environment
2. Create a design for use with the Precision RTL Synthesis software
3. Set up a project with the Precision RTL Synthesis software
4. Assign design constraints with the Precision RTL Synthesis software
5. Generate EDIF Netlist Files with the Precision RTL Synthesis software

You can use Intel-provided megafunctions in other EDA tools by using the IP Catalog to create and instantiate custom megafunction variations that are based on Intel-provided megafunctions, including library of parameterized modules (LPM) functions, as well as Intel FPGA IP cores.
