Section 2: Create a Block Diagram

This section describes how to create a block diagram as the top-level design entity in the project. You begin by creating the top-level design entity, filtref.bdf.

NOTE At several stages in this tutorial, you can significantly reduce the time required to complete the tutorial by copying Altera-provided design files, rather than creating those files from scratch. If you are already familiar with design entry using the Quartus II Block Editor, and you want to use the Altera-provided design files, go to Copying Altera-Provided Design Files for more information.


If you want to learn how to create the filtref.bdf file yourself, proceed to Step 1: Create a New Block Design File.
