keeping bdf and verilog synchronized

Hello all

One nice feature of quartus II 13.1 is the creation of bdf (Schematics) files in a visual form.

However, it may happen that you wish to convert you schematics to Verilog to add pieces that are easier defined using a text editor

This can be done using File -> Create/Update -> Create HDL design from Current file

Once you have changed the verilog, is there any way to synchronize the original bdf with the updated verilog ?

As far as I can tell the File -> Create/Update menu has no option for this, am I missing something ?

Thanks, Damiano

    Nope - you cannot create a BDF file from source code. You can only create a block to be added at a higher level.

    Even if you could, it would be a complete mess.
