What is 'stdin' when using System Console?

[BGrat]

Hello,

I am new to tcl scripting. Everything works as expected except gets. It hangs every single time. I am guessing that stdin is not set to input from the keyboard or something like that. If someone could help me understand why this simple code hangs, I would appreciate it.

System: Windows 10, Quartus 18.0 build 261

puts "Hello World." puts "Enter your name:" gets stdin name puts "Hello $name"

Hi,

The tcl scripting using in system console as link below with chapter 2.6:

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug-qps-debug.pdf

The system console is a debugging tool. Before using the system console , there are some steps need to be done as below:

1. Add an IP Core to the Platform Designer (Standard) system.

2. Generate the Platform Designer (Standard) system.

3. Compile the design.

4. Connect a board and program the FPGA. 

Then only can used the system console tool to debug the system.

The document as link below is the tutorial using system console:

There is no mention of stdin within the documentation, but I should be able to get what I need out of it.

Thanks.
