Creating Implementation Revisions

  1. To open the Revisions dialog box, click Project > Revisions.
  2. To create a new revision, double-click <<new revision>>.
  3. In Revision name, specify blinking_led_default and select blinking_led for Based on revision.
  4. For the Revision type, select Partial Reconfiguration - Persona Implementation.
  5. Disable Set as current revision. Ensure that This project uses a Partition Database (.qdb) file for the root partition is disabled.
    Note: You can add the static region .qdb file by turning on This project uses a Partition Database (.qdb) file for the root partition, and then specifying the static region .qdb file name.

  6. Similarly, set the Revision type for the other revisions:
    • blinking_led_slow—select Partial Reconfiguration - Persona Implementation.
    • blinking_led_empty—select Partial Reconfiguration - Persona Implementation.
  7. Verify that each .qsf file now contains the following assignments: 
    set_global_assignment -name REVISION_TYPE PR_IMPL
set_instance_assignment -name QDB_FILE_PARTITION place_holder -to |
set_instance_assignment -name ENTITY_REBINDING place_holder -to u_blinking_led
    where, place_holder is the default entity name for the newly created PR implementation revision.
