passing value to tcl - passing value to tcl is there anyway to pass value to a variable in side the tcl. either from tcl console under quartus or using quartus_sh under linux? for example i have text.tcl, inside is set test 0 in my cmd line i want to quartus_sh -t test.tcl test =5 or in tcl console/ source test.tcl test=5 Replies: Re: passing value to tcl I believe that you got the answer to your inquiry.

Replies: Re: passing value to tcl You may need to run it using command prompt. For best results, run shell commands and Intel® Quartus® Prime executables from a system command prompt outside of the Intel® Quartus® Prime software GUI.

Replies: Re: passing value to tcl thx. seem "exec" would work but everytime i try exec quartus_sh -t top.tcl 5 it just freeze quartus Replies: Re: passing value to tcl If you're running it from the tcl console the quartus_sh is not a valid command. Because (*I think) the tcl console in the quartus user interface is actually just the quartus_sh executable running in interactive mode. To call quartus_sh from the tcl console you could use the exec command. Following your example exec quartus_sh -t top_all.tcl 5 Not sure if that is the most elegant solution to your problem. But it should work. Replies: Re: passing value to tcl it help on linux side, but what about tcl console in quartus? when i try quartus_sh i got these errors Error:invalid command name "quartus_sh" Error: while executing Error:"unknown_original quartus_sh -t top_all.tcl 5" Error: ("eval" body line 1) Error: invoked from within Error:"eval unknown_original $cmd $args" Error: (procedure "::unknown" line 7) Error: invoked from within Error:"quartus_sh -t top_all.tcl 5" Replies: Re: passing value to tcl May I know whether the suggestion from Heiko help in your case? Do you need further help on this? Best Regards, Richard Tan p/s: If any answer from the community or Intel support are helpful, please feel free to give Kudos. Replies: Re: passing value to tcl You could do quartus_sh -t test.tcl 5 And in test.tcl have set test [lindex $argv 0] That takes the zeroth input argument, in this case 5, and assigns it to a variable test.
