6.2.3.1. Creating a Reserved Core Partition

Follow these steps to create a reserved core partition from the base revision:

  1. In the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software, elaborate the hierarchy of the design. Click Processing > Start > Start Analysis & Synthesis.
  2. In the Project Navigator window, right-click an instance and click Design Partition > Reserved Core. A design partition icon appears next to each instance you assign.

    This setting corresponds to the following assignment in the .qsf file:
    set_instance_assignment -name PARTITION <name> \
    -to <partition hierarchical path>
    
  3. When defining the partition, select Reserved Core for the partition Type. Ensure all other partition options are set to default values.
    This setting corresponds to the following assignment in the .qsf file:
    set_instance_assignment -name RESERVED CORE ON \
    -to <partition hierarchical path>
    
  4. Click Assignments > Design Partitions Window to display the design partitions windows. To export the finalized static region from this base revision compile and to use in subsequent CvP update revision compile, in the Post Final Export File cell, double-click the entry for root_partition and type root_partition.qdb.
