Available options
How to use the -fix_qsf option
The -fix_qsf option performs the following:
1. Performs necessary Analysis & Elaboration
-use_file_set <value> Specify the archive file set ID to use. By default, the "basic" file set ID is used. Use the
-list_file_sets option to view the list of possible file sets.
-list_file_sets List available archive file sets.
-list_files List files to be archived. If not specified, a Quartus II Archive file is generated.
-ascii <file name> When combined with -list_files, this option generates the specified <file name>
containing a newline-delimited list of files to be archived.
-no_discover Option not to run Analysis & Elaboration. By default, Analysis & Elaboration is run
unless the compiler database already exists for the revision.
-force Forces the archiver to run Analysis & Elaboration and overwrite the compiler
database for the revision.
-include_export Include version-compatible database files.
-export Export version-compatible database and include it in the archive file.
-include_output Include full compilation database and output files.
-output <value> Specify the output file name. By default, <revision name>.qar is used. If the file
already exists, it is overwritten.
-input <value> Specify the input file name containing a new-line delimited list of files to archive. This
option can only be combined with the -output option.
-readme Display the readme file.
-self_test Run a short test on the Quartus II Archive (.qar) file after it is created. The test
ensures that the .qar file contains a valid, complete and compilable design.
-fix_qsf Modify the <revision>.qsf file to include all the necessary files in order to properly
archive, restore and compile the design. A <revision>.archive.qip file is generated and
specified in the <revision>.qsf file.
