Symbol for Simulink Design

Hello, 

 

First, please accept my apologies if this question is already answered in the manual or forums. I have searched and read, but suspect I may not know the correct keywords. I am also very inexperienced with respect to Quartus and Simulink. (This is my first project.) 

 

I am trying to import my Simulink design as a Symbol in to Quartus II. I have followed the directions on page 35 and 36 of the DSP Builder User Guide: 

 

http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_dsp_builder.pdf 

 

I encounter no errors when following those steps, and when completed, the files show up under the Project Navigator >> Files pane. Everything works exactly the way the instructions say it will. 

 

But I still don't have a symbol for my design. How can I get one? I need to import my Simulink design in to an existing Quartus BDF file. 

 

- Bill

I found the solution in case anyone is interested. 

 

In the DSP Builder Signal Compiler window, click the Export Tab. Export Synthesizable HDL to a directory. 

 

Then, in your Quartus project, go to Add/Remove Files from Project. In the directory you chose, there should be a .vhd file with the same name as your Simulink design. Add this file to your Project.  

 

In the Project Navigator >> Files tab, right click the newly added file and select "Create Symbol Files for Current File". 

 

The symbol will now appear in your Symbol Library.
