2. Core Partition Reuse Debug—Developer

Process Description

In this tutorial module, the Developer assigns signals as ports to the partition boundary using the Assignment Editor, and then exports the core partition to a .qdb file. As a result, these user created boundary ports are available for debug as pre-synthesis nodes in the Consumer project, as a part of the reused .qdb file.
