2.10.4.1. Creating a Single Intel® Quartus® Prime Project for a Standard Incremental Compilation Flow

Use the <top-level project>.tcl file generated for the top-level partition to create your Intel® Quartus® Prime project and import all the netlists into this one Intel® Quartus® Prime project for an incremental compilation flow. You can optimize all partitions within the single Intel® Quartus® Prime project and take advantage of the performance preservation and compilation time reduction that incremental compilation provides.

All the constraints from the top-level implementation are passed to the Intel® Quartus® Prime software in the top-level .tcl file, but any constraints made only in the lower‑level implementations within the Precision Synthesis software are not forward‑annotated. Enter these constraints manually in your Intel® Quartus® Prime project.
