New ContributorHow can you create a .vqm file or equivalent in Quartus Prime Standard 23.1?
If I understand correctly, you want to share your design without giving the source file. Which is why you want to create the .vqm. Let me know if my understanding is incorrect?
Is that fine for you to exploring export partition instead? https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683475/19-4/exporting-compilation-results.html
Otherwise, you will need the synplify pro as describe in
Super ContributorIf a design partition (.qdb) contains encrypted IP, the project importing it must also have a valid license for that IP, even if the partition was already synthesized. This is because Quartus performs license checks during later stages like fitting and assembly, not just during synthesis. Without the proper license, the IP may be flagged as "Unlicensed," which can lead to errors or limited functionality.
To prevent issues, ensure that all required IP licenses are available in the importing environment. You can verify license status through the Assembler report or use Intel’s License Assistant for troubleshooting.
IwtiI see, then it looks like this flow will not work for me since the external vendor is merely testing the FPGA DUT and as such does not have access to the required IP license.
Does generating a .vqm file from synplify pro have this same limitation?
