DE4 System Builder – a powerful tool comes with the DE4 board. This tool will allow users to create a Quartus II project file on their custom design for the DE4 board. The top-level design file, pin assignments, and I/O standard settings for the DE4 board will be generated automatically by the DE4 System Builder. In addition, through the HSMC connectors you can select various daughter cards in conjunction with the DE4 using the DE4 System Builder.

The generated Quartus II project files include the following:
- Quartus II Project File (.qpf)
- Quartus II Setting File (.qsf)
- Top-Level Design File (.v)
- External PLL Contorller (.v)
- Synopsis Design Constraints file (.sdc)
