.bdf, .bsf and according .vhd file

--- Quote Start ---

Hi,

I have an IIR filter design created and exported as *.vhd with Matlab.

I copied this .vhd file into a folder in my current Quartus II project which I called say "Filter".

So the structure is now project_root/Filter.

Now, I opened this .vhd-file in my current Quartus project (not added it, just opened) and I created a symbol file from it by clicking "File/Create_Update/Create Symbol files for current File".

The created .bsf file I copied fom project_root to project_root/Filter.

Then I put the project_root/Filter path to the Project libraries.

Now, when I add a new .bdf File to my project and I put in there my just creates filter-.bsf symbol. I can't open the design file by double clicking on the symbol file. I just get the message "Cannot locate design file for entity "Filter"".

What have I done wrong or how is the normal procedure to create a bsf file?

Regards,

Maik

Hi Maik,

I would guess you have to use the "add file" function for both files, the bsf and the vhd file.

Kind regards
