Command line scripting for windows 7

[Altera_Forum]

Hi all, 

 I am new to Altera and planning to have some Command line scripting (for Windows 7 ) to compile code fully from start to end. Can anybody tell me some commands for that or provide any link of document/thread which can be used for windows 7? Thanks in advance.    Nikhil M

You need the quartus ii scripting reference manual (https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/manual/tclscriptrefmnl.pdf). 

 However, I recommend you start with Quartus' GUI, especially if you're new to Altera. It'll help you understand the process required to take your source code through the tool chain to a target. You'll also find that, via the GUI's message window, Quartus will give you the commands it's running underneath - which will then help you towards your goal. You'll be looking for 'quartus_map', 'quartus_fit' & 'quartus_asm' to generate you programming files for your target.  You might also want to look through using the quartus ii executables in shell scripts (http://quartushelp.altera.com/current/master.htm#mergedprojects/reference/scripting/tcl_about_execs_scripts_makes.htm), part of Quartus' online documentation.  Cheers, Alex
