QuartusII软件异常：Error: Top-level design entity " " is undefined

  使用Quartus进行数字电路设计时，遇到了下面的编译错误：

原因是

verilog文件（.v）里的模块名和顶层实体名(Top-level design entity，一般就是.v文件的文件名)不一致。

module modelsim_test(clk,rst_n,div);input clk;input rst_n;output div;reg div;always@(posedge clk or negedge rst_n)if(!rst_n)div<=1'b0;else div<=~div;endmodule 

上面的模块名是modelsim_test，而工程目录下的verilog文件名是simulate，如下图。

解决方法是：将modelsim_test修改为simulate。

编译成功！
