Home > Support > Design Software > Synthesis Tools > Precision RTL Synthesis > Generating EDIF Netlist Files with the Precision RTL Synthesis Software Print This Page Subscribe to Email Generating EDIF Netlist Files with the Precision RTL Synthesis Software You can perform synthesis and generate EDIF netlist files and then run the Quartus II software to perform a compilation automatically from within the Precision RTL Synthesis software. This allows you to view initial compilation results and further optimize the design and add constraints in the Precision RTL Synthesis software. The Precision RTL Synthesis software also generates a Tcl Script File (.tcl) that you can use to set up your project and compile your design in the Quartus II software.   To synthesize the design and run the Quartus II software automatically from within the Precision RTL Synthesis software: If you have not already done so, assign design constraints with the Precision RTL Synthesis software. To specify the path to the Quartus II software: Click Set Options. Expand the Quartus II folder. Select Integrated Place and Route. Specify the path to the Quartus II software in the Path to Quartus II installation tree box. Click OK. In the Design window, click Synthesize. The Precision RTL Synthesis software synthesizes the design and places the synthesized and optimized design in the <project name>_impl_1 directory in the current project directory. In the Design window, click Quartus II. Click the Run Quartus II button to compile the design in command-line mode in the Quartus II software. You can use the View RTL Schematic, View Technology Schematic, and View Critical Path commands to view the synthesized design and make further constraints to optimize the design. You can also use the Precision RTL Synthesis-generated Quartus II Project File (.qpf) to view the design in the Quartus II software. To synthesize the design in the Precision RTL Synthesis software and run the Quartus II software manually to set up a project and compile a design: If you have not already done so, assign design constraints with the Precision RTL Synthesis software. In the Design window, click Synthesize. The Precision RTL Synthesis software synthesizes the design and places the synthesized and optimized design in the <project name>_impl_1 directory in the current project directory. Start the Quartus II software. On the View menu, click Tcl Console. Type the following command at the Quartus II Tcl Console command prompt: source<path to project>/<project name>.tcl  The Tcl Script File creates a new Quartus II project in the current directory. Compile the design.   Note: The Tcl Script File generated by the Precision RTL Synthesis uses the mentor.lmfLibrary Mapping File (.lmf), located in the \<Quartus II installation directory>\lmf directory.     Rate This Page
