Step 7: Generating the Partial Reconfiguration Flow Script

To generate the partial reconfiguration flow script:
  1. From the Intel® Quartus® Prime command shell, create a flow template by running the following command: 
    quartus_sh --write_flow_template -flow a10_partial_reconfig
    Intel® Quartus® Prime generates the a10_partial_reconfig/flow.tcl file.
  2. Rename the generated a10_​partial_​reconfig/​setup.tcl.example to a10_​partial_​reconfig/​setup.tcl, and modify the script to specify your partial reconfiguration project details:
    1. To define the name of the project, update the following line: 
      define_project blinking_led
    2. To define the base revision, update the following line: 
      define_base_revision blinking_led
    3. To define each of the partial reconfiguration implementation revisions, along with the PR partition names and the synthesis revision that implements the revisions, update the following lines: 
      define_pr_impl_partition -impl_rev_name blinking_led_pr_alpha \
	-partition_name pr_partition \
	-source_rev_name blinking_led_default

define_pr_impl_partition -impl_rev_name blinking_led_pr_charlie \
	-partition_name pr_partition \
	-source_rev_name blinking_led_empty

define_pr_impl_partition -impl_rev_name blinking_led_pr_bravo \
	-partition_name pr_partition \
	-source_rev_name blinking_led_slow
      Note: All the revision projects must be in the same directory as blinking_led.qpf. Otherwise, update the flow script accordingly.
