1.3.3. Step 3: Create Design Partitions

After identifying the timing-critical design blocks, you partition and recompile the design to preserve the results for partitions that meet timing.
Create Design Partitions
  1. In the Project Navigator, right-click u_blinking_led_i1 in the Hierarchy tab, point to Design Partition, and select the Default partition Type. A design partition icon appears next to each instance you assign.
  2. Repeat step 1 to create partitions for the u_big_partition1_top, u_blinking_led_i2, u_blinking_led_i3, and u_blinking_led_i4 instances.
  3. Click Assignments > Design Partitions Window to open. The Design Partitions Window lists the partitions you define, along with the root partition (|) the Compiler automatically creates for each project.

  4. To compile the partitioned design, double-click Compile Design on the Compilation Dashboard.

    The Timing Analyzer opens automatically following compilation.
