I am used to generate my FPGA projects out of repository with scripts. I do not know how to process the IPs generated in Quartus Prime.
I have learned by doing so long:
From Quartus Prime I export the project with "Project/Generate Tcl File for Project..." -->GenPrj.tcl
This scipt can be used to restore the project structure with command line:
quartus_sh -t GenPrj.tcl
From Platform Designer I export with "File/Export System as Platform Designer script (.tcl)" -->GenCpu.tcl
This script can be used to restore the .qsys with
qsys-script --script=GenCpu.tcl
and from qsys I can generate the depending files with
qsys-generate cpu.qsys -syn
But to (re-)generate the IPs i generated in Quartus Prime from the IP-Catalog I have some problems.
With the example of the ALTPLL IP I tried to regenerate a simple pll module.
I tried the command ip-generate but than I noted that this is the qsys component.
I found mega_altpllq.exe which I do not know how to use
I found in Tcl API packages the package ipgen where I do not know what to do with
If I understood right until now:
Quartus Prime uses the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager which somehow interacts with the mega_altpllq.exe.
How can I do the same from command line?
(ALTPLL is only an example for any MegaWizard I)
