16 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hello, I'm a new user of QuartusII/Altera FPGA since 2 weeks :). I have a RTL database using Synopsys DesignWare and I wonder if QuartusII supports them (synthetise them correctly). If yes, where are they (synopsys lib or quartus lib) ? If not, how to deal with DW ? Make a netlist for each DW with an external synth. tool ? DW used: DW01_addsub, DW02_multp, DW01_csa, DW01_add. Thanks for your help, Drackh --- Quote End --- Hi, as far as I know you could not use Quartus for synthesis of DesignWare elements. I had a similar problem with ChipWare elements ( that are the corresponding elements from Cadence). I generated a netlist for each element. When you use Certify from Synopsys (former Synplicity) as synthesis tool, you can use directly the DesignWare elements. Maybe SynplifyPro supports DesignWare elements also. I have to check that. Kind regards GPK
