1.5. Compiling and Testing the Design

The Serial Lite III Streaming IP Core parameter editor allows you to compile and run the design example on a target development kit.

Follow these steps to compile and test the design in hardware:

  1. Launch the Intel® Quartus® Prime software and change the directory to example_design_dir/ed_synth/ and open the seriallite_iii_streaming_demo.qpf file.
  2. Click Processing> Start Compilation to compile the design.

    The timing constraints for the design example and the design components are automatically loaded during compilation.

  3. Connect the development board to the host computer.
  4. Configure the FPGA on the development board using the generated .sof file (Tools> Programmer).

The H-tile and L-tile design examples target the Intel® Stratix® 10 GX development kit. The E-tile design examples target the Intel® Stratix® 10 TX Signal Integrity development kit. To use the Intel® Stratix® 10 TX Signal Integrity development kit with H-tile design examples, you must generate the design examples without the development kit and remap the pins to match the Intel® Stratix® 10 TX Signal Integrity development kit.

The design includes an SDC script as well as a QSF with verified constraints in loopback mode. If you use the design example with another device or development board, you may need to update the device setting and constraints in the QSF file.

You must use correct pin constraints when using the core in simplex mode.

Note: The Intel® Stratix® 10 E-tile designs do not support simplex mode.
