New ContributorPlatform Designer and DSP Builder

Hi sstrell,
I am listening bunch of Altera tutorials about PD, and as usual, they are not that detailed. I don't know why they bother to show examples. So far, I know that PD can help us design a circuit by connecting various IPs, clocks, blocks and etc.
I am playing around with this PD. I have some DSP builder models, i simulate it in Matlab/DSP Builder, then run the .qpf (Toplevel entity) file in Quartus. I go a lot of files. Then i created a .qsys file, and opened it in PD. It gives me clk_in and reset_in interfaces GUI.
How can i move forward after this? Adding IPs and so on or making a complete design.
Thank you

You have to build the system design in PD. Your screenshot is what you get with a brand new .qsys file: clock and reset bridges for bringing a clock and reset into the system. Read the user guide: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683609/25-1/faq.html.
