Regenerate a new FPGA bin file with different .mif files - from .sof file ?

Hello,

I have a design (on Stratix3) that contains several .mif files to initialize internal memories .

With a small script I am able to rebuild a new FPGA bin file without doing the full P&R process , see below the commands I use :

> quartus_cdb --update_mif ...

> quartus_asm --read_settings_files=off --write_settings_files=off ....

> quartus_cpf .......

The issue I have is that I have not saved the whole repertory (db and incremental_db) of Quartus for each P&R .. I only saved the project.sof file .

with the above script I understood that the input files used to regenerate the new design file with updated memory content are the ones located in db and incremental_db memories and not the .sof file..

So I was wondering if it was possible to regenerate a design with .mif files modified from the .sof file ?

Thank you for your feedback.
