CHAPTER 12: DEBUGGING
USING THE RTL VIEWER & TECHNOLOGY MAP VIEWER
210 ■ INTRODUCTION TO QUARTUS II ALTERA CORPORATION
Using the RTL Viewer & Technology
Map Viewer
You can use the RTL Viewer to analyze your design after analysis and
elaboration has been performed. The RTL Viewer provides a gate-level
schematic view of your design and a hierarchy list, which lists the instances,
primitives, pins, and nets for the entire design netlist. You can filter the
information that appears in the schematic view and navigate through
different pages of the design view to examine your design and determine
what changes should be made.
The Quartus II Technology Map Viewer provides a low-level, or atom-level,
technology-specific schematic representation of a design. The Technology
Map Viewer includes a schematic view, and also includes a hierarchy list,
which lists the instances, primitives, pins, and nets for the entire design
netlist.
For more information on using the RTL Viewer and the Technology Map
Viewer, refer to “Analyzing Synthesis Results with the RTL Viewer” and
“Analyzing Synthesis Results with the Technology Map Viewer” on pages 80
and 84 in Chapter 4, “Synthesis.”
