FPGA compile blocks all other development

Hi

FPGA compiles typically take 6 to 24 hours. During that time I obviously wish to continue testing previous versions and developing new ones using the quick report level compiles.

As of today neither of these is possible until the background compile has finished - I simply cannot access a second compile/run node. What do I need to do to be able to do this again?

Regards, Marcus

    Hi Marcus,


    You can try save your Quartus on a Git repository, have different branches for different simulations. You can access the older versions of your project.


    Is this what you want? Or were you asking if you could do multiple simulations on the same Quartus software?

      Thank you for your reply, Nurina

      My apologies - I omitted to mention this is about using oneAPI on the devcloud. Effectively I can only access one FPGA compile/compute node simultaneously whereas I used to be able to access 4. And 2 is a minimum for efficient development.

      Kind regards

      Marcus

    Hi Marcus,


    Are you accessing DevCloud through MobaXterm? You can just use another terminal to do another compilation.
