New ContributorCan you analyze the bitstream icpx builds in Quartus?
The icpx tool can use Quartus to synthesize a bitstream which you can load on an FPGA. While doing so it produces some html reports. But those are pre-synthesis and often not enough to analyze performance issues. So I wonder if there is some way to load the files icpx into Quartus so you can analyze the project there? I've looked for documentation but not found anything about this.

Jessica_IntelHi @Hoolabandoola,
The icpx tool can run Quartus, if you use the "FPGA Hardware Image" compilation flow documented here:
In that case, the html reports will be updated with post-Quartus resource utilization and clock frequency information, as described here:
I hope this helps!

HoolabandoolaI'm aware of the html reports. However, they aren't very informative when it comes to post synthesis issues. For example, I have an OpenCL kernel that causes Quartus to run out of resources while synthesizing and I would like to know why.
