To create a custom PP155 using the wizard, follow these steps:
1.
Start the MegaWizard Plug-In by choosing the MegaWizard Plug-In
Manager command (File menu) in the Quartus software. The
MegaWizard Plug-In Manager
dialog box is displayed.

Refer to Quartus Help for detailed instructions on how to use the
MegaWizard Plug-In Manager.
2.
Specify that you want to create a new custom variant and click
Next
.
3.
On the second page of the wizard, select PP155 from the
OTC/POS
folder.
4.
Choose the type of output files, specify the folder and name for the
files the wizard creates, and click
Next
.
5.
Select the optional parameters and choices that you require.

Only the basic configuration of PP155 is available.
6.
The final screen lists the design files that the wizard creates. Click
Finish.
Implementing
the System
Once you have created your custom PP155, you are ready to implement it.
You can use the files generated by the MegaWizard, and the Quartus
software, or other EDA tools to create your design.
Compiling &
Performing
Place & Route
You can use the Quartus software to compile and place-and-route your
design. Refer to Quartus Help for instructions on performing compilation.
After you have verified that your design is functionally correct, you are
ready to perform system verification.
Performing Synthesis Compilation & Post-Routing Simulation
The Quartus software works seamlessly with tools from all EDA vendors,
including Cadence, Exemplar Logic, Mentor Graphics, Synopsys,
Synplicity, and Viewlogic. After you have licensed the PP155, you can
generate EDIF, VHDL, Verilog HDL, and Standard Delay Output Files
from the Quartus software and use them with your existing EDA tools to
perform functional modeling and post-route simulation of your design.
Using Third-Party EDA Tools
To synthesize your design in a third-party EDA tool and perform post-
route simulation, follow these steps:
