Design Assistant Settings
You must select the design rules in the Design Assistant page prior to
running the design. On the Assignments menu, click Settings. In the
Settings dialog box, in the Category list, select Design Assistant and turn
on Run Design Assistant during compilation. Altera recommends
enabling this feature to run the Design Assistant automatically during
compilation of your design.
Running Design Assistant
To run Design Assistant independently of other Quartus II features, on
the Processing menu, point to Start and click Start Design Assistant.
The Design Assistant automatically runs in the background of the
Quartus II software when the HardCopy Timing Optimization Wizard is
launched, and does not display the Design Assistant results immediately
to the display. The design is checked before the Quartus II software
migrates the design and creates a new project directory for performing
timing analysis.
Also, the Design Assistant runs automatically whenever you generate the
HardCopy design database with the HardCopy Files Wizard. The Design
Assistant report generated is used by the Altera HardCopy Design Center
to review your design.
f
Reports and Summary
The results of running the Design Assistant on your design are available
in the Design Assistant Results section of the Compilation Report. The
Design Assistant also generates the summary report in the
<project name>\hardcopy subdirectory of the project directory. This
report file is titled <project name>_violations.datasheet. Reports include
the settings, run summary, results summary, and details of the results and
messages. The Design Assistant report indicates the rule name, severity
of the violation, and the circuit path where any violation occurred.
To learn about the design rules and standard design practices to comply
with HardCopy design rules, refer to the Quartus II Help and the
HardCopy Series Design Guidelines chapter in volume 1 of the HardCopy
Series Handbook.
