Creating IO PLL component using command line mode

Hi,

Is there any way to create the IO PLL componet using command line mode instead of GUI mode?

I could create this component using GUI mode. Is it possible to generate a tcl script and run it in command line mode? Pl. suggest.

Thanks,

Sunil

    Hi Sunil,

    For reminder next time, please help to login to ‘https://supporttickets.intel.com’, view details of the desire request, and post a feed/response within the next 15 days to allow me to continue to support you. So that we can support this case further for your ease.

    Regarding the two commands:

    To execute a TCL script that instantiates the IP and sets desired parameters: ➢ qsys-script –script=.tcl

    This will require a .tcl script to instantiates the IP and sets desired parameters without the use of the GUI to select or set the parameters from the IP catalogue.

    To generate the IP core variation: ➢ qsys-generate .qsys

    This will generate a .qsys file, and is the same as if you use the "Generate HDL" in the Platform Designer.

    Hello,


    You need to generate the IO during design development. Basically, we use verilog/vhdl language in Quartus Prime software then need to compile so it can generate the FPGA image that you need to program/configure the FPGA.

    There is no other way to do this.


    regards,

      Hello Farabi,

      Thanks for responding. I was mentioning about the atera_iopll (IOPLL Intel FPGA IP) component. To use this component in a design, we generally use quartus tool in GUI mode to configure and generate it. Instead of using GUI mode, is it possible to generate this component using tcl script?

      Regards,

      Sunil

        Hello Farabi,

        Pl. check the attached snapshots.

        After creating the IOPLL component using Qsys tool in GUI, I used 'Export system' to generate the tcl files.

        Could you pl. let me know how to use this tcl file?

        I tried using "qsys-script --script=intel_iopll.tcl" in command line.

        Is this the right way to do?

        Thanks,

        sunil

    Hi,


    I'm still checking this with the internal teams. Unfortunately, I have not heard back from them yet.

    I will plan on letting you know as soon as I learn more information.

    Thanks for your patience!

      Hi @EBERLAZARE_I_Intel ,

      As per the Platform designer - user guide doc, I see the following steps to parameterize and generate an IP core at command-line.

      1. Run qsys-script to start a Tcl script that instantiates the IP and sets parameters:
      qsys-script --script=<script_file>.tcl


      2. Run qsys-generate to generate the IP core variation:
      qsys-generate <IP variation file>.qsys

      what is the difference between these two commands? Do we need to use both to generate the IP core? Pl. suggest.

      Thanks,

      Sunil
