Find information about the comprehensive scripting support in Quartus Prime software for command-line and tool command language (TCL) script design flows. Design Pages {"title":"Quartus® Prime Software Scripting"} Introduction The Quartus® Prime Software includes comprehensive scripting support for command-line and tool command language (Tcl) script design flows. Separate executables for each stage of the software design flow (synthesis, fitting, and timing analysis, for example) include options for making common settings and performing common tasks. Introduction Quartus® Prime Software Quartus® Prime Software Software Edition Topic Description Resource Pro Command-Line Scripting FPGA design software that easily integrates into your design flow saves time and improves productivity. Quartus® Prime Pro Edition User Guide: Scripting Design Examples Get started with FPGA products with ready-to-use design examples. FPGA Design Store, Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Training This class covers the command-line executables and how to use them in scripts and Makefiles. It also provides examples. Command Line Scripting This class covers the command-line executables and how to use them in scripts and Makefiles. It also provides examples. Introduction to Tcl This course presents the Tcl scripting capabilities in the Quartus® Prime software. Quartus® Prime Software Tcl Scripting Standard Tcl Scripting You can use Tcl scripts to control the Quartus® Prime software and to perform a wide range of functions, such as compiling a design or scripting common tasks.

Quartus® Prime Software Tcl Scripting Quartus® II Collapse All Expand All Quartus® II The Tcl scripting application program interface (API) includes commands covering basic to advanced functionality. The Quartus® II Scripting Reference Manual (PDF) provides a complete reference covering all command-line options and Tcl commands. The Quartus® II Settings File Reference Manual (PDF) lists and describes all QSF settings. Quartus® II Scripting Reference Manual lists and describes all QSF settings. Use the Tcl API for any of the following tasks: Creating and managing projects Making assignments Compiling designs Extracting report data Performing timing analysis For example, the following Tcl script uses design files for the fir_filter tutorial design in the directory. The script creates a project, makes pin, clock, and timing assignments, and compiles the design. load_package flow project_new fir_filter -revision filtref -overwrite set_global_assignment -name FAMILY Cyclone set_global_assignment -name DEVICE EP1C6F256C6 set_global_assignment -name BDF_FILE filtref.bdf set_global_assignment -name TOP_LEVEL_ENTITY filtref # You could make other pin assignments here set_location_assignment -to clk Pin_G1 create_base_clock -fmax "100 MHz" -target clk clocka create_relative_clock -base_clock clocka -divide 2 \\ -offset "500 ps" -target clkx2 clockb set_multicycle_assignment -from clk -to clkx2 2 execute_flow -compile project_close You can use the Command-Line and Tcl API Help Utility for a complete list of Tcl API commands, descriptions, and examples.
