generate a .vqm file

--- Quote Start ---

hi,

i am using a Cyclone II FPGA and i want to generate a vqm file by the Quartus II Compiler. When i compile my design , sometimes a ASCII text file is created, and sometimes a binary file. what should i do in order to create a ASCII text file,instead of a binary file?

Hi suplina,

choose : Assignments -> Settings -> Compilation Process Settings ->

"Save a node-level netlist of the entire design into a persistent source file"

Quartus will create a new directory "atom_netlist". You will find the vqm file in this

directory.

Kind regards

hi,

Thank you for your answer, i have done what you told me and created two different vqm files for two different modules,however,it is strage that one of the vqm file is full of messy code ,and the other shows normal,why?

Hi,

what kind of modules do you have ? Is one a third party IP block ?

hi,

no,neither of them contains a third party IP block.

Hi,

is it possible that you post the designfile(s) ?

hi,

Does it matter if i use an ip block called sram_16Bit_512k made by Terasic Technologies inc?

Hi,

I assume that this block is an SRAM-Controller ? That is excatly what mean with an

third party IP block. Did you get the source of the Controller ? If not , I'm pretty sure that a vqm file of this block will be encrypted.

excuse me for jumping in, but what version of Quartus are you using? I'm using 8.1 and I don't see these setting.

I'm using cyclone III (e3c780f120), but I understand why it should matter, we are talking about synthesis stage, not about a device feature. :confused:
