--incremental_compilation_export_netlist_type=<POST_SYNTH|POST_FIT>
This option must be used with the --incremental_compilation_export option. The values POST_FIT and
POST_SYNTH are used to direct the software to export the post-fit and the post-synthesis netlist,
respectively. If this option is omitted, the value specified by the
INCREMENTAL_COMPILATION_EXPORT_NETLIST_TYPE global assignment is used if present.
Otherwise, the top-level partition is exported by default.
--incremental_compilation_export_partition_name[=<name>]
This option must be used with the --incremental_compilation_export option. Use this option to specify the
name of the partition to be exported. If this option is omitted, or if an empty value is provided, the value
specified by the INCREMENTAL_COMPILATION_EXPORT_PARTITION_NAME global assignment is
used if present. Otherwise, the top-level partition is exported by default.
--incremental_compilation_export_routing[=on|off]
This option must be used with the --incremental_compilation_export option. The value specifies whether
routing is to be exported. The option only has an effect when a post-fit netlist is exported, because a
post-synthesis netlist does not contain routing information. If this option is omitted, the value specified
with the INCREMENTAL_COMPILATION_EXPORT_ROUTING global assignment is used if present.
Otherwise, the default is to export routing unless the currently specified device family does not support it.
--incremental_compilation_import[=on|off]
Imports one or more Quartus II Exported Partition (.qxp) files into the design partitions of the current
project.
The option uses the following partition assignments to determine the location of the Quartus II Exported
Partition files, and how importation should be performed, on a per-partition basis:
PARTITION_IMPORT_FILE
PARTITION_IMPORT_PROMOTE_ASSIGNMENTS
PARTITION_IMPORT_NEW_ASSIGNMENTS
PARTITION_IMPORT_EXISTING_ASSIGNMENTS
PARTITION_IMPORT_EXISTING_LOGICLOCK_REGIONS
--merge[=on|off]
Merges all design partitions to prepare a netlist for the Fitter based on the current Partition Netlist Type
assignments.
--mif_dependency=<mif_check>
Run the Memory Initialization File dependency check script.
If your design has RAM without a Memory Initialization File, then the Memory Initialization File
dependency script creates an extra revision called <rev_name>_mif_dependency with the ASM option
(use checkerboard pattern) turned on to ensure that the design has no initialization dependency.
Usage
quartus_cdb <project> -c <current FPGA revision> --mif_dependency=mif_check
quartus_cdb <project> -c <current FPGA revision> --mif_dependency=cleanup
