qip generator

[Altera_Forum]

Does anyone have a qip generator script that they can share? I am looking to create a script that will scan my source folder for all the verilog, system verilog, vhdl and sdc sources and make a qip file. 

 I am not familiar with the tags used in the qip and any existing script may be a good headstart for me.  Thank you. Best regards, Sanjay

qip generator, q2_make_qip.tcl: 

  # !/bin/sh # exec tclsh "$0" "$@" # # Making quartus <file>.qip file # There are 2 way to usage: 1- run with intput parameters, 2- run with internal parameters # Parameters: # <file_name> - output file name # <path> - path to find files (valid range: "./" or "./ core" or "core1 ../core2", etc.) # # Example usage: # q2_make_qip.tcl all.qip ./ # q2_make_qip.tcl all.qip "./ ../core2" # source q2_make_qip.tcl (for example from Quartus tcl console) # exec tclsh q2_make_qip.tcl all.qip "./ ../core2" (for example from Quartus tcl console) # or edit code: EDIT HERE...END; and run q2_make_qip.tcl # if {>0} { puts "-------------------------------------------------------" puts "Input parameters:" set file_name set path puts " file name : '$file_name'" puts " path : '$path'" } else { # EDIT HERE: set file_name "all.qip" set path "./" # END; } set p_file set cnt 0 proc find { path pattern key_word } { foreach i { puts $::p_file "set_global_assignment -name $key_word \" global cnt incr cnt } } proc find_in_path { path } { find $path *.sv SYSTEMVERILOG_FILE find $path *.svh SYSTEMVERILOG_FILE find $path *.v VERILOG_FILE find $path *.sdc SDC_FILE find $path *.vhd VHDL_FILE find $path *.vhdl VHDL_FILE find $path *.tdf AHDL_FILE } foreach p $path { find_in_path $p puts $::p_file "" } close $p_file puts "-------------------------------------------------------" puts " Find $cnt files" puts " Making file '$file_name'" puts " Press 'Enter' to exit ..." gets stdin

It means we can only one qip file into our project, and this qip file will help to "add" all source files into the project, instead of adding all files one by one.

Jerry, 

 I would like to use the qip file to make it easy to integrate various reusable modules. In my environment, each module is in its own folder. There could be more than one file for each module. e.g. sub-modules, sdc files, etc. As the modules are reusable their folders get copied around. And adding each file to the Quartus QSF is a hassle. QIP makes it easy as it is just one file.  A script to create the QIP file makes it even easier.  Sanjay    --- Quote Start ---  hello,  Thanks, i see.
