Hi there,
I want to run a script/tool in parallel to Quartus compilation run. How can I do this?
I tried this:
project.qsf
set_global_assignment -name PRE_FLOW_SCRIPT_FILE "quartus_sh:script_files/build_pre_flow.tcl"
script_files/build_pre_flow.tcl
exec [info nameofexecutable] -t [pwd]/script_files/temp/run_forever.tcl &
script_files/temp/run_forever.tcl
while 1 {
after 1000
}
Output on compilation:
Info: *******************************************************************
Info: Running Quartus Prime Shell
Info: Command: quartus_sh -t script_files/build_pre_flow.tcl compile project revision
Info: Quartus(args): compile project revision
Info (23030): Evaluation of Tcl script script_files/build_pre_flow.tcl was successful
Info: Quartus Prime Shell was successful. 0 errors, 0 warnings
... but now he stops here with compilation time clock still running, and progress staying at 0 % - why?
Seems like (despite message say that script was successful) still checks if script spawned another process and he won't continue until that process stops. If I kill that process, compilation starts - but that's not what I want, I want to have that running during compilation. How can I do that?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You need to rewrite your code to control the compilation stages. I will give you an example here how you do it:
set dirs ""
lappend dirs "<Project directory>"
lappend dirs "<Project directory>"
foreach dir $dirs {
puts $dir
catch {cd $dir}
set project_name [glob *.qpf]
project_open $project_name
Source build_pre_flow.tcl
execute_flow -compile // you can break the stage here if you want. e.g. execute_module -tool fit, execute_module -tool syn, execute_module -tool sta
project_close
lappend report "[format "%-15s %-30s %-20s" $dir $project_name DONE]"
}
foreach line $report {
puts $line
}

Hi KTan_Intel, thanks for your reply!
I'm sorry, I can't find that file you mentioned (without filename) - I searched my project for parts of it and I wasn't successful. Where is this script located at?
In the end, I want to be able to press [Ctrl]-[L] (as usual) and have mentioned functionality too.

You can save the above code to a abc.tcl
Run it with quartus_sh -t abc.tcl
Make sure the quartus_sh is under quartus directory.
