Help:What do these errors mean in quartus 7.1

Altera_Forum · ‎08-30-2007

I have my project completed in quartus7.1,the device i choose is cyclone3,it shows the errors below:

Error: Tcl error: wrong# args: should be "source fileName"

while executing

"source e:/program files/quartus/common/tcl/internal/eda_pt/eda_pt_script.tcl"

Error: Fail to evaluate Tcl command source e:/program files/quartus/common/tcl/internal/eda_pt/eda_pt_script.tcl

what do they mean?

when i do it once again in quartus5.1 ,no errors.

so i changed the device from cyclone3 to Max2 in quartus7.1,this time it worked,no errors.

I don't know what's wrong with them.

I'll appreciate it if you can tell me the reasons.

Thank you very much!

Go to Assignments -> EDA Settings. Do you have anything selected, especially for timing analysis? I don't know what specifically is going wrong, but my guess is eda_pt_script is EDA vendor Synopsys's Primetime tools. Just a guess on where to look.

Thanks Rysc.

EDA settings are all right. The problem is the installation of Quartus7.1. The directory shouldn't contain space. i.e "Program Files" ,it should be "ProgramFiles".

That's what Mark told me.

Check out the thread: http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1002&goto=nextoldest

The error looks the same so I guess could be the same problem.
