Compiler

Overview: Specifying Compiler Settings



Compiler settings are a group of settings used by the Compiler to specify a design entity as the compilation focus, the type of compilation you want to perform, the device family and device you want to use, and other options. You apply these settings when compiling any design in a project.

When you create a new project, the Quartus® II software creates default Compiler settings that have the same name as the project's initial top-level design entity, and uses these default Compiler settings as the current Compiler settings. You can also specify and save your own customized Compiler settings for a project in the pages under the Compiler Settings page of the Settings dialog box (Assignments menu), as described in the following topics:

You can also use the Compiler Settings wizard (Assignments menu) to specify many of the Compiler settings that are in the Compiler Settings page.

To associate the current Compiler settings with the currently selected design file in the Quartus II software, without using the Compiler Settings page or the Compiler Settings wizard, use the Set Compiler Focus to Current Entity or Add Current Entity at Top Level command (Project menu).
