You can create VHDL and Verilog HDL design files with the Quartus^® II Text Editor or another standard text editor for use with the Mentor Graphics^® LeonardoSpectrum^™ software.

To create a Verilog HDL or VHDL for use with the LeonardoSpectrum software:

1. If you have not already done so, perform 1. Set Up the LeonardoSpectrum Working Environment.

2. Enter a VHDL or Verilog HDL design in the Quartus II Text Editor or another standard text editor and save it in your working directory.

3. To use megafunctions in a design, use the MegaWizard^® Plug-In Manager (Tools menu) to generate and instantiate a megafunction variation. You can use the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager to create content-addressable memory (CAM), ClockLock^® PLL, LVDS, and RAM functions. The following topic shows how to create and instantiate a CAM function.

4. For ARM^®-based Excalibur^™ designs, use the ARM-based Excalibur MegaWizard Plug-In, which is available from the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager (Tools menu) to create and instantiate an Excalibur embedded processor stripe. The following topic shows how to create and instantiate an Excalibur embedded processor stripe:

• Creating and Instantiating an Excalibur Embedded Processor Stripe for Use with the LeonardoSpectrum Software

5. To continue with the LeonardoSpectrum design flow, proceed to 3. Set Up a Project with the LeonardoSpectrum Software.
