    You may refer to the Design Block Reuse Flows in Section 1.5 of the Quartus Prime Pro Edition User Guide:
    https://docs.altera.com/r/docs/683247/25.1.1/quartus-prime-pro-edition-user-guide-block-based-design/answers-to-top-faqs

    In this flow, you (as the Developer) compile the B project and export a partition snapshot as B.qdb. You then create a black‑box file for module B.

    In the Consumer (top‑level) project A, the consumer adds the B black‑box file as a source in the project. After design elaboration, the consumer defines each instance of B as an independent design partition and assigns the exported B.qdb file to all B instances through the Design Partitions window.
