Update single mif among multiple mif's in design with quartus_cdb

I cannot seem to find how to update 1 mif file using the quartus_cdb --update_mif command. I can run the command appropriately from the command line to update all the mif's in the design, but it...

Thanks for the response, but it appears Quartus can only update all the MIF files in a design.

Quartus cannot update a single MIF when multiple MIF's exist for a design.

Thanks, James

It also appears that this question was asked previously here in March 2019:

https://community.intel.com/t5/Programmable-Devices/Is-it-possible-to-update-one-mif-file-instead-of-the-all-set-to/m-p/694582

From the Quartus GUI, it does not appear that this is possible.

However, upon further searching, it appears possible with a Makefile, as shown here:

https://github.com/tomverbeure/fpga_quick_ram_update/blob/179837c409beaad14c12c24f1323ec0cfa0468f5/quartus_max10_deca/Makefile

The makefile shows iterative update of all the Makefiles in a design, but one could select a limited set of makefiles to update.
