1.10.2. Importing a Version-Compatible Compilation Database
Follow these steps to import a project compilation database into a newer version of the Quartus® Prime software:
Note: Designs exported from the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software versions 23.2 or earlier cannot be imported into version 23.3 due to the new DNI database.
- Export a version-compatible compilation database for a complete design, as Exporting a Version-Compatible Compilation Database describes.
- In a newer version of the Quartus® Prime software, open the original project. Click Yes if prompted to open a project created with a different software version.
- Click Project > Import Design and specify the Quartus Database File. To remove previous results, turn on Overwrite existing project's databases
Figure 121. Import Design Dialog Box
- Click OK. When you compile the imported design, run only Compiler stages that occur after the stage the .qdb preserves, rather than running a full compilation. For example, if you import a version-compatible database that contains the synthesized snapshot, start compilation with the Fitter (Processing > Start > Start Fitter). If you import a version-compatible database that contains the final snapshot, start compilation with Timing Analysis (Signoff) (Processing > Start > Start Timing Analysis (Signoff)).
