Step 8: Generating the Hierarchical Partial Reconfiguration Flow Script

To generate the hierarchical partial reconfiguration flow script:
  1. From the Intel® Quartus® Prime command shell, create a flow template by running the following command: 
    quartus_sh --write_flow_template -flow a10_hier_partial_reconfig
    Intel® Quartus® Prime generates the a10_hier_partial_reconfig/flow.tcl file.
  2. Rename the generated a10_​hier_partial_​reconfig/​setup.tcl.example to a10_​hier_partial_​reconfig/​setup.tcl, and modify the script to specify your partial reconfiguration project details:
    1. To define the name of the project, update the following line: 
      define_project blinking_led
    2. To define the base revision, update the following line: 
      define_base_revision blinking_led
    3. To define each of the partial reconfiguration implementation revisions, along with the PR partition names and the source revision that implements the revisions, update the following lines: 
      ###############################################################################
# SETUP CONFIGURTION SCRIPT
###############################################################################
# Define the name of the project.
define_project blinking_led

# Define the base revision name. This revision represents the static
# region of the design
define_base_revision blinking_led

# Define each of the partial reconfiguration implementation revisions

      Note: All the revision projects must be in the same directory as blinking_led.qpf. Otherwise, update the flow script accordingly.
