Can an IPX File handle a **?

Hello,

I wanted to know if the latest version of Quartus Pro allows for ** to be used inside of path element in an .ipx file.

I tried using a ** in a path element with version 21.1 of Quartus Prime Standard and it didn't work. The user guide makes no reference as to whether this is possible.

example:

<library>
    <message>Loading now from ip.ipx</message>
    <path path="../ip/**/*" />
</library>

However, the following does work as intended:

<library>
    <message>Loading now from ip.ipx</message>
    <path path="../ip/*/*" />
</library>
  • Recent Quartus does not allow for ** to be used inside of path element in an .ipx file. You may need to work around it using *.

    Yup, That's my question. As stated, the noted behavior was observed in "version 21.1 of Quartus Prime Standard ".

      Alright. I would like to request that IPX files can also use ** since other places of Quartus can use ** when searching for IP. Aligning these differences in behavior can make for a smoother software.
