Using Synplify Pro with Quartus

Hi again,

I haven´t been able to spend to much time on this so sorry for not acknowledging the responses better.

Anyway I had a 10 day license which expires today. The sample program that pletz posted was quite useful. I was able to syntheize in synplify and then succesfully use the netlist in Quartus.

Previously when using the quartus synthesizer I had placed constraints using classic timing analyzer, some of which got ignored, I believe because of many of the nodes had their names altered or got synthezised away or what not. This is normal I assume? Really I should be constraining the design based on the results I view from synplify? as many of the old constraints are now meaningless with a different syntheziser.

Also I found some useful videos on youtube, I don´t have the link because it´s blocked here, but they were uploaded by a professor from a university in India. Searching for lecture 29, 30 and 31 will find them. They probably aren´t of any use to somebody who has used synplify before, but for me (a beginner) it set me in the right direction. Anyway maybe they will be useful to someone else searching these forums at a later date with similar issues.

Thanks again for the help.
