IP Compiler for PCI express on Stratix IV

Hi Dave,

thanks for your answer. I was reading the documentation which you have posted. It was useful to give me an idea about where to start, in order to start from scratch from a simple idea.

After following all the steps of the tutorial I have launched analysis and synthesis in order to see how the design looked like, but Quartus complains about

Error: Quartus II 64-Bit Analysis & Synthesis was unsuccessful. 57 errors, 3 warnings
	Error: Peak virtual memory: 611 megabytes

looking at the first two lines of the error logs, it seems like for Quartus II the entities are not defined inside the qsys generated verilog file. On what could this depend?
