TCL Script - Automation of Compilation process and programming SOF file - TCL Script - Automation of Compilation process and programming SOF file Hey, I am trying to create a TCL script for automating the compilation process and SOF file programming. I get this Error - " Error:Unknown option: -outdir " I changed the " -outdir " to " -output_directory " but again I get the same Error This is the script I wrote: package require ::quartus::project # Set the project directory set project_dir " Y " # Set the project name set project_name " X " # Set the output directory for compiled files set output_dir "$project_dir/output_files" # Set the name of the SOF file set sof_file "$project_name.sof" # Open the project project_open $project_dir/$project_name.qpf # Compile the project execute_module -tool map execute_module -tool fit execute_module -tool asm execute_module -tool sta execute_module -tool sign # Create the output directory if it does not exist file mkdir $output_dir # Generate the SOF file set sof_path $output_dir/$sof_file execute_module -tool asm_sof -outdir $output_dir -file $sof_path # Launch the programmer window launch_programmer -hardware_name "USB-Blaster" # Wait for the programmer to open after 1000 # Select the device and file in the programmer window program_device -position 1 -file $sof_path -operation "Program" Note - I write X and Y because I can't write the original values here Thanks!

I will appreciate your help Thanks.

And there is no "output directory" option available for execute_module command. Best Regards, Richard Tan
