F-Tile debug toolkit not loading properly

Hi,

Based on provided information, the issue was failing at the basic step and the system-console is not able to create tmp directory in the User directory.

Could you try to test with the different User or create a directory manually in the folder where see the error?

Hi again,

I've tried creating a directory in the user location where the TCL script (ftile_pysv_driver_pkg.tcl) is trying to create it and it's still failing with permission denied. My question is why doesn't it try to create the temp directory on the project directory where the system console is being invoked from? And also if that's the case is there any way to point the TCL script to the desired directory?

Just to elaborate the failing process of the script is below:

proc temp_dir { } {
set fd [file tempfile temp]
close $fd
file delete $temp
set temp_no_slash [regsub -all {\.} $temp ""]
file mkdir $temp_no_slash
#dprint 1 "Temporary directory @ $temp"
return $temp_no_slash
}

After running the set temp_no_slash [regsub -all {\.} $temp ""] on the system console I'm getting the following result:

C:/Users/VASILE~1ANA/AppData/Local/Temp/TCL63582TMP

And the the file mkdir command is failing.

Hi,

I wish to follow up with you about this case.

Hoping to hear back from you so that we can proceed for next step.

Hi again.

I've got an update for you. I tried to use Quartus v24.3.1 but still getting the same error as before about not being able to create a directory in the user location.

"Just try to understand from you, if purely from the design example without adding FGT, the toolkit work fine , am I correct on this ?"

I'm not adding FGT. The F-Tile transceiver exists in the original example design. All I'm trying to do is add some debug to it, to be able to view the eye of the signal on the Rx side. To do that I'm adding the debug option as described in your guide:

7.2.1. Modifying the Design to Enable F-Tile Transceiver Debug

Attached you'll find a snapshot of what I'm trying to do and I'm getting the error about the user directory failing to create.
