Creating LogicLock® Plus Regions

You can create LogicLock® Plus Regions using several tools, such as the Project Navigator, LogicLock® Plus Regions window, Design Partition Planner, or the Chip Planner.

Creating LogicLock® Plus Regions with the Project Navigator

After you perform a full compilation or analysis and elaboration on the design, the Project Navigator displays the hierarchy of the design. If the Project Navigator is not already open, click View > Utility Windows > Project Navigator.

With the design hierarchy expanded, right-click on any design entity, and select Create New LogicLock® Plus Region to create a LogicLock® Plus region and assign the entity to the new region. The new region has the same name as the entity. If more than one entity have the same name, Quartus® Prime software appends an incremental numerical value to the end of the LogicLock® Plus region's name.

Creating LogicLock® Plus Regions with the LogicLock® Plus Regions Window

To create a LogicLock® Plus region with the LogicLock® Plus Regions Window, select Assignments > LogicLock® Plus Regions Window. In the LogicLock® Plus Regions window, double-click <<new>>.

Creating LogicLock® Plus Regions with the Design Partition Planner

To create a LogicLock® Plus region and assign a partition to it with the Design Partition Planner, right-click the partition and select Create LogicLock® Plus Region.

Creating LogicLock® Plus Regions with the Chip Planner

To create a LogicLock® Plus region in the Chip Planner, you can either click the Create New and Add LogicLock® Plus Region icon in the Navigation toolbar or point to View > LogicLock® Plus Regions > Create New and Add LogicLock® Plus Region. Then, click and drag on the Chip Planner floorplan to create a region of your preferred location and size.

  • After you create the LogicLock® Plus region, you can rename the region if you double-click the name in the LogicLock® Plus region window.
  • You can also change the region shape and assign entities to the region. The order that you assign the entities or define the shape doesn't matter.
  • Before compilation, ensure that your LogicLock® Plus region has valid assignments or is set as empty, and that has a valid name.
