VERIFYING THE EFFECT OF ECO CHANGES
ALTERA CORPORATION INTRODUCTION TO QUARTUS II ■ 221
Verifying the Effect of ECO Changes
After you have made an ECO change, you should run the Assembler module
of the Compiler in order to create a new POF. You may also want to run the
EDA Netlist Writer again to generate a new netlist, or run the Timing
Analyzer or Simulator again to verify that the change results in the
appropriate timing improvement. You can run each of these modules
separately by using the Compiler Tool window, or by using the
quartus_asm or quartus_eda, quartus_tan, and quartus_sim executables at
the command line or in a script. Performing a full compilation, however, will
change the values of the ECO changes.
