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
