Follow these steps to view and traverse subsystem contents:
  1. Open a Platform Designer system that contains a subsystem.
  2. Use any of the following methods to view the subsystem contents:
    • Use the filtering controls in the Filter tab to change the level of detail in the System View .
    • Right-click a system in the System View or Schematic tabs, and then select Drill into Subsystem. The subsystem opens in the System View .
    • Press Ctrl+Shift+D in the System View tab.
  3. Use any of the following System View or Schematic tab toolbar buttons to traverse the system and subsystems:

    Button Description
    Move to the top of the hierarchy—navigates to the top-level (parent) .qsys file for the system.
    Move up one level of hierarchy—navigates up one hierarchy level from the current selection.
    Drill into a subsystem to explore its contents—opens the subsystem you select in the System View .
Note: You can only view and traverse the contents of subsystems that you define in a .qsys file, not parameterizable Platform Designer systems or _hw.tcl files.
