    We are doing some migration work, so the subscription might not ready. I will check internally.


    Can you upgrade to latest release 20.2? If no, you will have to use command line to run the rapid recompile.


    Put this to test.tcl and run it with quartus_sh -t test.tcl


    load_package design

    load_package flow

    project_open Test

    execute_flow -compile

    #execute_module -tool fit

    #execute_module -tool sta

    project_close

Rapid recompile is should be supported in Arria 10 device. May I know which version that you were using? I tested it in Q20.2pro edition and it is working. Also, you need to turn on enable intermediate fitter snapshots to use this feature.

To reduce the compilation time, you can refer to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/zpr1513988353912.html#mwh1410471192919 -> 2. Reducing Compilation Time

If you were using signal probe for debugging, you can refer to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/documentation/cxt1478215337364.html
