--update_mif
Option to update memory content from the Memory Initialization File (.mif) or Hexadecimal
(Intel-Format) File (.hex) for all RAM or CAM atoms.
This option is useful for quickly changing memory contents without requiring a full compilation. After
using this option, run the Assembler (quartus_asm) to generate new programming files for the device.
--vqm[=<.vqm file>]
Option to generate a Verilog Quartus Mapping File (.vqm) netlist.
You must specify the .vqm file name unless the name can be taken from the
LOGICLOCK_INCREMENTAL_COMPILE_FILE assignment in the Quartus II Settings File (.qsf).
This option overrides the settings specified in the .qsf.
--write_eqn_file[=<.eqn file>]
Writes equation file to the specified filename. If filename is not specified, the filename used is: <revision
name>.<map or fit>.eqn.
The netlist type must be specified using "--netlist_type" option. The valid netlist types are "map" and
"cmp".
Use "map" to specify the post synthesis netlist and use "cmp" for the post fitter netlist.
Examples
##Write the post synthesis equation file (using default filename.)
quartus_cdb <revision name> --write_eqn_file --netlist_type=map
##Write the post fitter equation file (using default filename.)
quartus_cdb <revision name> --write_eqn_file --netlist_type=cmp
##Write post synthesis equation file to the file "my_mapper_results.eqn".
quartus_cdb <revision name> --write_eqn_file=my_mapper_results.eqn
--netlist_type=map
--write_rcf_for_vqm[=on|off]
Option to write the Routing Constraints File (.rcf) for the Verilog Quartus Mapping File (.vqm) netlist.
