1.4. Core Partition Reuse—Developer Tutorial
Process Description
As an IP Developer, you define, place, route, and eventually export a block of code within a partition. You then pass the exported .qdb to a Consumer.
Reuse of the core partition also requires that you provide a black box file to the Consumer. The black box file defines the ports and port interface types for synthesis in the Consumer project. The Compiler ignores any further RTL that you include in the black box file.
You add the black box file to the Consumer project as a source file. You assign the exported .qdb file to a partition in the Consumer design. The .qdb file contains all of the information from the Developer's compilation snapshot. The Consumer can then reuse these compilation results in their project. The synthesis snapshot includes only synthesis results. The final snapshot includes synthesis, placement, and routing results.
