How do I get identical results from compilations in the Quartus Prime software? - How do I get identical results from compilations in the Quartus Prime software? The title of this article is "How do I get identical results from compilations in the Quartus Prime software?" https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/articles/000084189.html It states "Note that the db and incremental_db directories must be identical from compilation to compilation to ensure identical results." However the statement is a bullet point that is doubled tabbed underneath another statement, and I have just ran the build twice after deleting the db and incremental_db folders and got the same output programming files (Raw Binary Files). Therefore are keeping and using the last db and incremental_db folders really needed to get identical results from compilations in the Quartus Prime software? (They are big folders to store so I would rather they are not) Thanks Replies: Re: How do I get identical results from compilations in the Quartus Prime software? Emery, Yes only if you are using incremental compilation in your design. Replies: Re: How do I get identical results from compilations in the Quartus Prime software? That's for incremental compilation as the parent bullet says.
