Contributor22.1 pro: set_instance_assignment not accepting wildcard?
Actually, you don't have to do a full compilation, just Analysis & Elaboration.
But as mentioned, when you edit the .qsf manually and the design has not been compiled yet, when you use the wildcard, Quartus does not know about that object yet.
If you were to use the GUI instead, you always have to perform at least Analysis & Elaboration first so signals and objects appear in the Pin Planner or the Assignment Editor. It's the same situation here.
Super ContributorHi,
The wildcard feature tested and works well in Quartus Pro v22.1. Have you do recompilation after making changes in .qsf file? After recompilation eventually will get something like below in .qsf file.
set_instance_assignment -name IO_STANDARD "HSSI DIFFERENTIAL I/O" -to sfp* -entity <your_entity_name>
Best Regards,
Sheng

alexislmsHi ShengN,
Tested, doesn't work:
1. .qsf:
2. Open the project and the Pin Planner
3. Close the project, change the .qsf, save
4. Open the project, open Pin Planner:
Quartus version:
There is no compilation, it's even before synthesis.
Regards,
