I am trying to create the simple_counter as described in the user guide.
I have followed the steps to the point where the simple_counter.v file is in the project. the simple_counter.bsf file has also been created and the symbols appear in the .bsf pane. When I insert I get the following message "Can't insert symbol into Block Design File simple_coumter because the symbol represents the current Block Design File" What am I doing wrong?2 Replies
Altera_ForumIs your project also called simple_counter? If yes then your top level file will be called simple_counter by default, and it cant instantiate a component with the exact same name. You can either create a new block design file called for example simple_counter_top, then with a right click make it the top level file, and then instantiate your simple_counter block from there, or call your verilog file something else (for example simple_counter_component.v)
