7. Click Finish.
8. The On-chip memory component is added to your Qsys system.
9. On the File menu, click Save and type the file name
ep_g1x4.qsys
. You should
save your work frequently as you complete the steps in this walkthrough.
10. On the Component Library tab, type the following text string in the search box:
recon r
Qsys filters the component library and shows all components matching the text
string you entered.
11. Click Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller and then click +Add. Specify the
parameters listed in Table 3–10.
1 Originally, you set the Number of reconfiguration interfaces to
5
. Although you
must initially create a separate logical reconfiguration interface for each channel and
TX PLL in your design, when the Quartus II software compiles your design, it merges
logical channels. After compilation, the design has two reconfiguration interfaces, one
for the TX PLL and one for the channels; however, the number of logical channels is
still five.
