1.5.3.2. Other Synthesis Tools

You can also partition your design and create different netlist files manually with the basic Synplify software (non-Pro/Premier), the basic Precision RTL software (non‑Plus), or any other supported synthesis tool by creating a separate project or implementation for each partition, including the top level. Set up each higher-level project to instantiate the lower-level VQM/EDIF netlists as black boxes. Synplify, Precision, and most synthesis tools automatically treat a design block as a black box if the logic definition is missing from the project. Each tool also includes options or attributes to specify that the design block should be treated as a black box, which you can use to avoid warnings about the missing logic.
