11 years agoI have found somewhere here in forums that I can do placeholder empty architecture, then partition design and set that component B to netlist type Empty.
The problem is that I need to set multiple instances of B thorough hierarchy of component A, it is fine with GUI, but I need to automatize it with TCL. I have found that there are create_partition and set_partition commands in ::quartus::incremental_compilation TCL package, this is great, it allows me to do precisely what I described earlier... BUT I need something that will allow me to search in hierarchy of A to find all instances of B and set netlist to Empty, because component A can be parametrized which changes number of B instances (and their names) in it so it needs to be generic... Is there something to do it? And the second question is, does this approach really do what I want to accomplish? Thank you
