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
