Hi all,
I'm not familiar with incremental compilation. I wonder if it's possible to use it with hierarchical sub modules of Qsys ? ThanksLink Copied

yes, try taking a look at the documentation and/or free online training
its pretty straight forward, after a compile you can open the Hierarchy window and start expanding the modules, find modules to make partitions, right click and make it so in the Design Partitions window you can then define the netlist type for each partition (source files, post-fit, empty)- Mark as New

Thank you.
I got confused, in fact there's no hierarchy in design partitions even if they're of hierarchical modules. I got compilation down from 8min only to 4min while sourcing 2% of the design and post-fitting 98% of it. But I guess incremental compilation is as more interesting as designs are bigger or harder to fit.- Mark as New

Incremental Compilation is not a magic bullet. it is a useful tool that may help reduce compile time, increase fmax, or help fitting in certain cases
there's probably a certain overhead that makes it more useful in longer compiles
