And now I'm trying to push my own project through the process. What I'm finding is a disconnect between Qsys and Quartus. I mean, after I have a project complete in Qsys, how do I get it into an FPGA? Do I set up the project, pinout, etc, manually, or is there some Qsys-> Quartus tool that helps. I'd be surprised if there wasn't, but I'm not finding it. I appear to have to generate project file, sdc file, etc, from scratch. Really?

Thanks!
