1. Partial Reconfiguration Design Simulation Tutorial Introduction

Updated for:
Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Suite 24.1

This application note demonstrates the simulation of a partial reconfiguration (PR) design in a third-party simulation tool.

Simulate a partial reconfiguration design to verify the functionality of the design with each PR persona implemented before placing the design in hardware. Simulation also provides valuable insight into what happens in your design when changing between PR personas and can show if a design is dependent on startup conditions.

Simulating your PR design helps you improve your design in the following ways:
  • Verifying your design and PR persona functionality
  • Identifying any design gaps when changing between the PR personas
  • Identifying any design dependencies on startup conditions.

The implementation of the reference design discussed in this application note requires a basic familiarity with the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software implementation flow, Partial Reconfiguration terminology, and knowledge of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition primary project files.
