Creating a Fixed Size and Origin for a LogicLock Region

The LogicLock size and origin for every component is different. A safety IP partition must have a fixed size and origin for its LogicLock region, otherwise the fitter gives an error. You can run a trial Intel® Quartus® Prime compilation with the LogicLock region set to Auto size and floating origin and then use this result to fix the region:
  1. Temporarily turn off Allow partition to be strictly preserved for safety in the Design Partitions Properties… window
  2. Set the LogicLock region to Auto size and floating origin.
  3. Compile the design.
  4. Open the LogicLock Regions Properties window again and then select Set Size and Origin to Previous Fitter Results.
  5. Turn on Allow partition to be strictly preserved for safety in the Design Partitions Properties… window
