Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration on Stratix V

Hi Onoufrios,

did you already managed to convert .msf abd .sof to the partial rbf files?

This is how i do within a POST_FLOW_SCRIPT_FILE:

set path "output_files"
set binaries "${path}/rbf"	
file mkdir ${binaries}
	
set start_point x40y2
run_cmd "quartus_cpf 
-p $path/${revision}.${start_point}.msf 
$path/${revision}.sof 
$path/${revision}.${start_point}.pmsf"
set options ""
# lappend options 			"-o use_scrub=on"
# lappend options 			"-o enhanced_bitstream_compression=on"
# lappend options 			"-o bitstream_decompression_during_pr=on"
set target_file "$binaries/${revision}.${start_point}.rbf"
run_cmd "quartus_cpf 
 
-c $path/${revision}.${start_point}.pmsf 
${target_file}"

The PR IP has two Registers, PR_CSR and PR_DATA.

[LIST]

set PR_CSR to 0x1 (start single clock PR)

[/LIST]

[LIST]

copy partial rbf to if->PR_DATA register

[/LIST]

[LIST]

check PR_CSR for status

I guess you know this document already:

Additionally you need at least for CycloneV an extra PR license and you have to enable PR in quartus.ini. Don't know about StratixV.
