CHAPTER 12: DEBUGGING
USING THE CHIP EDITOR
ALTERA CORPORATION INTRODUCTION TO QUARTUS II ■ 211
Using the Chip Editor
You can use the Chip Editor in conjunction with the SignalTap II and
SignalProbe debugging tools to speed up design verification and
incrementally fix bugs uncovered during design verification. After you run
the SignalTap II Logic Analyzer or verify signals with the SignalProbe
feature, you can use the Chip Editor to view details of post-compilation
placement and routing. You can also use the Resource Property Editor to
make post-compilation edits to the properties and parameters of logic cell,
I/O element, or PLL atoms, without requiring a full recompilation. For more
information on using the Chip Editor, refer to the next chapter, Chapter 13,
“Engineering Change Management.”
