QuartusII: add a new module into a project

Altera_Forum · ‎01-31-2012

Hi all,

i want to change my VHDL project adding a new VHDL module.

How can I do this?

P.S. I've already the .bdf file, so how can I use it to add my new VHDL module in the project?

Thanks a lot.

open the VHDL file in quartus. Make sure the source code is added to the project file list.

goto File -> Create/update -> Create symbol file.

Then in your top level BDF double click anywhere and now your modules should be available to place in the BDF.

NOTE: You cannot simulate BDF files directly. You have to either convert them to HDL or compile them for a (slow) netlist simulation. The best option is just to make the whole design HDL.
