Step 4: Open the Intel’s Platform Designer project
The Intel’s Platform Designer tool is essential for designing the embedded system that includes the GeMRTOS multiprocessor system. To begin, open Intel’s Platform Designer by selecting “Tools → Platform Designer” as shown in Figure 7.
Executing this option opens the Intel’s Platform Designer GUI. Before starting, choose the <platform_designer_file>.qsys file that contains the embedded system. This file should be located in the <Quartus_Prime_project_folder>. Once selected, the Intel’s Platform Designer GUI will be available, as illustrated in Figure 8.
Intel’s Platform Designer enables the straightforward design of the GeMRTOS multiprocessor-based system. The GeMRTOS Multiprocessor component is accessible in the IP Catalog tab, and the System Contents tab displays all elements of the GeMRTOS multiprocessor system, as shown in Figure 1.
