-signalprobe: Option to run a SignalProbe compilation
-vqm_writer: Option to run VQM Writer
Description
Runs one or more of the command-line executables using one of the predefined flows, such as "-compile"
or "-signalprobe". You can run only one flow at a time, so you must use only one option.
Some flows have limited device support or other limitations based on the features used. See
documentation for the features in question for details.
The "-export_database" and "-import_database" options use the value of the VER_COMPATIBLE_DB_DIR
assignment for the version-compatible database files directory, defaulting to "export_db".
The "-incremental_compilation_export" option uses the value of the
INCREMENTAL_COMPILATION_EXPORT_FILE global assignment for the path of the Quartus II
Exported Partition (QXP) file to be created. The value of the
INCREMENTAL_COMPILATION_EXPORT_PARTITION_NAME global assignment should specify the
name of the partition to be exported. The value of the
