BluePrint Flow Control
The Flow control panel provides immediate access to common BluePrint commands from anywhere within BluePrint. The Flow controls appear in order of a typical BluePrint planning flow. BluePrint is only available in the Quatus Prime Pro Edition software.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Open Project | Allows you to select and open a Quartus® Prime project in BluePrint. |
| Initialize BluePrint | Loads the synthesis netlist, starts the Fitter verification engine, and imports assignments from your Quartus® Prime project. |
| View Assignments | Opens the Assignments tab, which allows you to review and reconcile any conflicting assignments that BluePrint imports from your project. Enable or disable specific project assignments to resolve any conflicts. |
| Update Plan | Applies the enabled project assignments to your BluePrint plan. You cannot perform periphery planning on the Plan tab until you update the plan. |
| Plan Design | Opens the Plan tab in which you place logic in the BluePrint plan. |
| Export Constraints | Saves your BluePrint plan to a file for subsequent application to your project. This command is available only after successfully running Validate Plan. |
| Validate plan | Verifies that all constraints in the BluePrint plan are compatible with placement of all remaining unplaced design elements. You can then directly locate and resolve the source of any reported validation errors. You must successfully validate the plan before running Write Plan File. |
| View Reports | Opens the Reports tab for filtering data and finding entities and locations. |
