New ContributorHow can I convert a Verilog code file into a BDF file
I'm currently using Quartus 18.0. I've successfully written Verilog files that compile and simulate without any issues. However, I'm now seeking to generate BDF files directly from these Verilog code...

fengtianwenmingThank you for your response. It seems you've correctly interpreted that "Create symbol file for current file" might be used to generate a symbol file (BSF file) for the code file, enabling its integration into a schematic. However, the challenge I'm facing is that I'm seeking to convert Verilog code into a BDF file containing the internal gate-level circuitry. I want to manipulate and modify it directly, akin to the detailed circuits visible in the RTL Viewer. Do you have any suggestions or methods to accomplish this?
- sstrellNo there’s no way to do that. In the long run, learning an HDL is going to be way more beneficial and time-saving vs manipulating a schematic.

Thank you for your response. I'm sad to hear about this fact.
