8.1 Introduction
The System Builder is a Windows based software utility. It is designed to help users create a Quartus Prime project for the FPGA board within minutes. The Quartus Prime project files generated include:
- Quartus Prime Project File (.qpf)
- Quartus Prime Setting File (.qsf)
- Top-Level Design File (.v)
- Synopsis Design Constraints file (.sdc)
- Pin Assignment Document (.htm)
The above files generated by the DE10-Advanced System Builder can also prevent occurrence of situations that are prone to compilation error when users manually edit the top-level design file or place pin assignment. The common mistakes users may encounter are:
- Board is damaged due to incorrect bank voltage setting or pin assignment
- Board is malfunctioned because of wrong device chosen, declaration of pin location or direction is incorrect or forgotten
- Performance degradation due to improper pin assignment
