sld_signaltap Megafunction

SignalTapII Logic Analyzer megafunction. The sld_signaltap megafunction allows you to instantiate SignalTapII Logic Analyzer instances in your design earlier in the design cycle when using the SignalTapII Logic Analyzer and without the need for a SignalTap II File (.stp) Definition. Designs containing SignalTapII Logic Analyzer megafunction instances can be compiled without a SignalTap II File. The sld_signaltap megafunction is available for all Altera device families supported by the Quartus^® Prime Standard Edition software except the MAX series.

To create a SignalTap II File from SignalTap II Logic Analyzer megafunction instances, on the File menu, point to Create/Update and click Create SignalTap II File from Design Instance(s).

Altera recommends instantiating this function with the IP Catalog.

Note:

When you create your megafunction, you can use the IP Catalog to generate a netlist for third-party synthesis tools.

Note: For more information about using the sld_signaltap megafunction with the IP Catalog, refer to the Design Debugging Using the SignalTap II Embedded Logic Analyzer chapter in the Quartus^® Prime Standard Edition Handbook, volume 3, available from the Literature section of the Altera website.
