To synthesize the design and run the Quartus® Prime software automatically from within the Precision RTL Synthesis software:

  1. If you have not already done so, assign design constraints with the Precision RTL Synthesis software.
  2. To specify the path to the Quartus® Prime software:
    1. Click Set Options.
    2. Expand the Quartus® Prime folder.
    3. Select Integrated Place and Route.
    4. Specify the path to the Quartus® Prime software in the Path to Quartus® Prime installation tree box.
    5. Click OK.
  3. In the Design window, click Synthesize. The Precision RTL Synthesis software synthesizes the design and places the synthesized and optimized design in the <project name>_impl_1 directory in the current project directory.
  4. In the Design window, click Quartus® Prime.
  5. Click the Run Quartus® Prime button to compile the design in command-line mode in the Quartus® Prime software.
  6. You can use the View RTL Schematic, View Technology Schematic, and View Critical Path commands to view the synthesized design and make further constraints to optimize the design. You can also use the Precision RTL Synthesis-generated Quartus Prime Project File (.qpf) Definition to view the design in the Quartus® Prime software.
