Step 7: Creating Revisions

The PR design flow uses the project revisions feature in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software. Your initial design is the base revision, where you define the static region boundaries and reconfigurable regions on the FPGA. From the base revision, you create multiple revisions. These revisions contain the different implementations for the PR regions. However, all PR implementation revisions use the same top-level placement and routing results from the base revision.

To compile a PR design, you must create a PR implementation revision and synthesis revision for each persona. In this reference design, in addition to the base revision (blinking_led), the three child-level personas and the two parent-level personas contain five separate synthesis revisions, and five separate implementation revisions:
Table 3.  Revisions for the Two Parent Personas and Three Child Personas
Synthesis Revision Implementation Revision
blinking_led_parent, blinking_led_default blinking_led_pr_alpha
blinking_led_parent, blinking_led_child_slow blinking_led_pr_bravo
blinking_led_parent, blinking_led_child_empty blinking_led_pr_charlie
blinking_led_parent_slow, blinking_led_child_slow blinking_led_pr_delta
blinking_led_parent_slow, blinking_led_child_empty blinking_led_pr_emma
