2.15.1. Version-Compatible Database Flow for PR Designs

Migrating a design with a single PR region involves the following high-level steps:

  1. Perform initial compilation of the base revision in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software version N.
  2. Export a version-compatible database for the entire design in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software version N.
  3. Import the version-compatible database into the Intel® Quartus® Prime software version M (M>N).
  4. Generate the base revision .sof file and bitstreams with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Assembler version M.
  5. Export the static region .qdb in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software version M.
  6. Perform a PR implementation compile in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software version M.
Note: You must generate all of the PR bitstreams that you use with the Intel® Quartus® Prime software version (M), including the full-chip configuration bitstream and the PR bitstream .rbf.
