Generating a Qsys System with qsys-script

[Altera_Forum]

Hi all, 

 I'm using a tcl file to create a Qsys system. the system contains a HPS. When i run qsys-script utility, it's stops at the HPS commands    --- Quote Start ---   $ qsys-script --script=soc_system.tcl 2014.11.17.11:58:49 Info: Doing: <b>qsys-script --script=soc_system.tcl</b> 2014.11.17.11:58:52 Info: set_module_property NAME soc_system 2014.11.17.11:58:52 Info: set_module_property GENERATION_ID 0x00000000 2014.11.17.11:58:52 Info: set_project_property DEVICE_FAMILY Cyclone V 2014.11.17.11:58:52 Info: add_instance clk_0 clock_source 14.0 2014.11.17.11:58:52 Info: set_instance_parameter_value clk_0 clockFrequency 5000 0000.0 2014.11.17.11:58:52 Info: set_instance_parameter_value clk_0 clockFrequencyKnown  1 2014.11.17.11:58:52 Info: set_instance_parameter_value clk_0 inputClockFrequency  0.0 2014.11.17.11:58:52 Info: set_instance_parameter_value clk_0 resetSynchronousEdg es NONE 2014.11.17.11:58:52 Info: add_instance hps_0 altera_hps 14.0 _   --- Quote End ---    i attached the tcl file to this message  Thank you for helping me to fix this problem

I haven't tried using qsys-script with an HPS system, but this thread has an example which includes the SDRAM controller on the DE0-nano ... 

 http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45927  Read the script qsys_system.tcl for details on how the script was created.  Cheers, Dave

Hello, 

I've the same problem. I've read tcl from de0nano. I've generated this to test, it's ok.  For my de1soc, qsys-script seems blocked on add_instance hps_0 altera_hps 14.1 without this line the qsys file is generated, with these line nothing append.  Someone has an idea about this problem ?  I have quartus 14.1 with service pack.  Thank you very much Gwenhael

Okay, 

I doing some tests with Quartus 12.0. qsys-script is not blocked. I think a problem with this tool?  Gwenhael

I need to quit manually qsys-script by Ctrl-c. qsys-script is indefinitely blocked. No log, no .qsys. Nothing in fact. Gwenhael

--- Quote Start ---   I think a problem with this tool?   --- Quote End ---   No idea. Compare the log files from a working version and a non-working version and see if you can see the difference.  If you do have an example that works under 12.0 but not under 14.1, then send that to Altera when you file a Service Request. Chances of getting a response are much better when you can show a problem.  Cheers, Dave

Unfortunately I don't have a subscription license, so no fix for me :cry:  https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/rd05082015_486.html  If someone has a workaround for the workaround, or if someone from Altera has a timeline for when this will be fixed, please let me know. Cheers!
