How to archive Quartus Project using commands promt (inside and outside of Quartus)?

[Altera_Forum]

Hi All,  

 1) How can I archive the Quartus Project from commands prompt?   2) How can I archive the Quartus Project externally (not from Quartus)? Let's say from a linux shell or using windows's *.bat file?   Thank you!

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

 2) Use 'quartus_cdb' with the --hc_archive option.  Cheers, Alex

When running the "quartus_cdb amp --hc_archive", I'm receiving the following error message: 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Info: Command: quartus_cdb amp --hc_archive Error (39003): Run Analysis and Synthesis (quartus_map) with revision "amp" for --rev option before running Compiler Database Interface (quartus_cdb) Error: Quartus Prime Compiler Database Interface was unsuccessful. 1 error, 0 warnings ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  So, what's the whole flow? Should I always run the quartus_map command before the quartus_cdb even the project was compiler, synthesized and mapped from the GUI?

Try: 

quartus_cdb amp --hc_archive=my_archive It should work with a project already compiled with the GUI.  Cheers, Alex
