2.8.3. QAR/QDB File Generation

The base.qdb Intel® Quartus® Prime Compilation Database File contains all the necessary compilation database information for importing a timing-closed and placed-and-routed netlist of the static region.

The INTELFPGAOCLSDKROOT/board/s10_ref/hardware/s10gx/scripts/post_flow_pr.tcl script creates the base.qdb file. The qar_ip_files.tcl file invokes the qar_ip_files proc command to export the entire base revision compilation database to the base.qar file that also contains the base.qdb, pr_base.id and base.sdc files. For your Custom Platform, you do not need to add these files to the board directory (that is, INTELFPGAOCLSDKROOT/board/<custom_platform>/hardware/<board_name> ) separately. They are generated when you do a base revision compile with your custom platform.
