Automating POF generation - Automating POF generation Hello, I'm using a .pfg script file to convert .sof files into .pof How can I automate the process such that a .pof file will be generated at the end of every compilation ? Replies: Re: Automating POF generation Scripting is of course the solution. Call quartus_pfg with respective .pfg configuration in a tcl script, e.g. post_flow.tcl exec quartus_pfg -c yourpfgfile.pfg Specify post flow action in your project set_global_assignment -name POST_FLOW_SCRIPT_FILE "quartus_sh:flow_post.tcl" Replies: Re: Automating POF generation Thanks for the link but this doesn't answer my question. I couldn't find something about generating a .POF from a .SOF using the .PFG. This is how my .PFG file looks like: <pfg version="1"> <settings custom_db_dir="./" mode="AVSTX16"/> <output_files> <output_file name="my_project" directory="output_files/" type="POF"> <file_options/> <flash_device_id>Flash_Device_1</flash_device_id> <secondary_file type="MAP" name="my_project_pof"> <file_options/> </secondary_file> </output_file> </output_files> <bitstreams> <bitstream id="Bitstream_1"> <path>output_files/my_project.sof</path> </bitstream> </bitstreams> <flash_devices> <flash_device type="CFI_1Gb" id="Flash_Device_1"> <partition reserved="1" fixed_s_addr="0" s_addr="0x000C0000" e_addr="0x000FFFFF" fixed_e_addr="0" id="OPTIONS" size="0"/> <partition reserved="0" fixed_s_addr="0" s_addr="0x02C00000" e_addr="0x056FFFFF" fixed_e_addr="0" id="P1" size="0"/> </flash_device> </flash_devices> <assignments> <assignment page="0" partition_id="P1"> <bitstream_id>Bitstream_1</bitstream_id> </assignment> </assignments> </pfg> As you can see, it's generates the POF from the SOF. How can I embed this script into my QSF so it will run automatically at the end of each compilation ? Replies: Re: Automating POF generation Hello, Basically, Quartus is built from TCL script. All the instructions are actually running on TCL scripts. You can built an automation script using TCL language. example : https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/support-resources/design-examples/quartus/tcl.html regards, Farabi
