Qaurtus automatically include files without using `include directives ?

Hello

Has Quartus a have a built-in feature to automatically include files without using `include directives in our Verilog source.
Must we explicitly specify the files to be included using `include in the Verilog code. ?

if a have a 3rd part IP where this is the case (they didnt used `include explicetely ) how should we expect to compile that on quartus ? (the 3rd part dont provide an altera version of the IP )

Thx

    @ShengN_Intel it's a lot of work to give a minimal design based on the IP we have to compile

    However, seems we found some of the issues:

    Some issues were related to the fact that: The `include xyz.sv is not forwarded across the hierarchy, contrary to the VCS compiler, so the solution was to add those `include and import the specific package that's defined on the `include

    Another issue was related to the timescale: we removed it from the top-level design and

    Thx for everyone about the advice

    Try adding the files to the project (Project menu -> Add/Remove Files).

    Hi,


    Other ways will be make sure the include package or file at the directory where .qpf resides. Or set the library path.


    Thanks,

      Hello

      it didn't worked ..

      i want to make sure the issue is well described :

      The issue is that there are some structs defined on a specific file let say fileA

      Those structs are used on project files , let say fileB

      fileA name is not included on fileB (by 3rd parts vendor IP - asic vendor , they don't provide quartus version)

      on asic (vcs also ) flow its compiled well - by adding the location of fileA only

      on quartus , it didnt compiled , so i add the following : set_global_assignment -name SEARCH_PATH <fileA directory location >

      but , quartus get error : that the struct (defined on fileA) is not declared

      I tried what you suggests , to copy the file on .qpf directory , but still the same error ..

    Hi,


    Possible to provide a minimal design for better understanding and testing?


    Thanks,
