CHAPTER 4: SYNTHESIS
USING OTHER EDA SYNTHESIS TOOLS
ALTERA CORPORATION INTRODUCTION TO QUARTUS II ■ 73
In the Design Entry & Synthesis page under EDA Tool Settings in the
Settings dialog box (Assignments menu), you can specify the EDA synthesis
tool you will use, and also specify whether an EDA tool that has NativeLink
support should be run automatically within the Quartus II software as part
of full compilation. The Design Entry & Synthesis page also allows you to
specify other options for EDA synthesis tools. See Figure 3.
