Determine resources of own SOPC component

[Altera_Forum]

Hello, 

 I wrote my own SOPC component. Is it possible to determine how much resources my component needs? How much Logic Cells and Memory Bits...  Thanks for your assistance!  Best regards, ToniB

take a look at the synthesis/fit reports, you should be able to find the resource usage by entity or similar 

 alternatively you can set your HDL at the top level of a QII project and look at the synthesis/fit reports directly

I typically compile the component as the top level and assign the ports to virtual I/O. This will prevent the fitter from taking my registers and cramming them into the I/O of the device. This will give you a worst case resource utilization number since when your component is in a real system the synthesis engine can perform various packing optimizations with other surrounding logic.
